Ive been advised to go for a GTX 970 and been looking around for the cheapest best option and have came across this card

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gainward-GeForce-GTX-970-4GB-4096MB-Graphics-Card-DVI-mHDMI-3-mDP-BRAND-NEW-UK-/201533633921?hash=item2eec573581:g:ujAAAOSwoBtW1y8m

Now what i want to know is why is it so much cheaper than the other 970s and is it worth getting that compared to a standard £250 Zotac one

(Also i need 4GB NOT 2GB)

Any help finding out why this is like this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Maybe 2-3fps lowercthsn a MSI gaming or similar & a bit noisier as its a single fan reference model.

Nothing wrong with gainward, it'll still be a decent card & that is a great price.

There is a small but coming which is simply that there are zotac & gigabyte cards over at aria for £250 which include a copy of the division.
If its a game you're interested in it makes them essentially the same price (actually a fiver cheaper)
so this card is pretty much the same as say a gigabyte one or a MSi one just not a well known brand.....i thought it was slower than the others due to price .

so i should get this then ?
