What's the best gtx 970 version

[colezilla]

I want it to be able to play assasins creed unity and watcjdogs on ultra and the one I'm looking at right now is in this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DBWWyc
So would this card be able to do what I want and along with these games I would also like skyrim to run ultra with mods



Thanks for a the answers most of them were great but the reason I chose the guy that posted that build is because It gave me the idea to research more and I was able to upgrade his build to be better so I went with his

There's not a big difference between the 970 versions. Some might have 1-2 more FPS, but that's it. MSI and ASUS will come with backplates preinstalled as well. I know the Gigabyte and EVGA versions do not.

Gigabyte G1 gaming has the highest overclocked score out of the 10 or so tested on guru3d, but less than 1% ahead of the msi card.

the msi twin frozr seems to be the most popular, and then they have the gold edition. there really isn't a high class version of the 970, only the classified 980. it seems most are skipping producing exotic models of gm204 and waiting for gm210.

Unity is broken as all hell so dont even bother with the game
