What the h*** is Manli. can i trust it or not?

[Daniel Iversen]

So recently ive begun Thinking about getting a reference designed 970 (not the plastic one i want the real deal) but yeah.
I searched around and nothing was to find in Denmark.
I started searching in the uk and found a gtx 970 with a reference cooler plugged onto it. I read alot and kept searching, finding out That the graphics card manufacture is some Called Manli.

I want this card. I just dont Want to buy something that breaks after an hour. Help me Guys.

Thanks, Daniel

Here is there site it looks legit all the specs are right for the 970 it looks like a normal reference model with a sticker on it. I have never heard of them either but from what im seeing it looks okay, but i cant be sure.

That honestly doesn't look like the NVTTM cooler.

They ship to all of Europe.

In the US, Best Buy carries the reference coolers for the 970 from EVGA. Might check out your local electronics stores? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-4gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-silver-black/9855169.p?id=1219441201895&skuId=9855169

It looks alright, if a bit low quality. I'd still recommend a more renown brand, like MSI or Asus

Edit: it's worth noting that a reference design of the GTX 970 does not exist. And if it did, this particular cooler design would be far from it. I would still classify this as (like you would say it) 'plastic crap'...

 

[Daniel Iversen]

I understand what you all are saying.. Denmark is just not the place. I have been looking up the reference design in the US and accually thinking of buying one in the US. The only thing that keeps me from buying it is what im gonna do if the card fails, how will i be able to keep up my warranty?

any more than I would ask picasso to creosote my garden shed.

This right here made my day.

 

[Daniel Iversen]

Ok, so i might choose the 980 instead to get a reference cooler. Im curious, will a 1080p display be a loss with a 980?

Not really, you can always use DSR to render games at higher resolution for better anti-aliasing and detail processing (grass looks less jaggy for example). There are also a few games out there *COUGH COUGH AC UNITY COUGH* that don't run as well as they should and need a beefy GPU to run at a solid framerate at maximum settings.

 

[Eximo]

I have my GTX980 running a 1080 monitor. It is complete overkill, but then so would a GTX970.

Everything on Ultra though, for everything...

Waiting for some more G-sync options before getting one and adding a second GTX980.

 

[Daniel Iversen]

Thanks for the answers.

Still now im pretty out in the wild in terms of which gpu to get. I would just like to have something SPECIAL.

I have been looking on alot of websites, seeing that MSI's lightning series r9 290x keeps dropping down in price. I like that beefy cooler.

 

[Eximo]

Really depends on what you mean by special. Plenty of special edition cards and ones made for extreme overclocking.

If you want something different you could always hit up EVGA for one of their watercooled cards and get a radiator with an integrated pump and reservoir like Swiftech H220 or something. Or go full custom loop for the whole system.

 

[Daniel Iversen]

Ive been thinking about custom loop, i want something like that. im ready to jump onto it but i just dont know which stuff to pick up. like its my first time. For the EVGA im not going to buy one of their Cards with waterblock. They are way too expensive.
