Wich 970 brand?

[Tommynew]

If we assume Gygabyte G1 is the best (maybe)...
Wich comes after that.

Thank you.

MSi... recommended by tom's hardware!

There was actually a review / comparison for the top 3 a while back, and it seems like the Gigabyte G1 was the fastest of the bunch.

I'd go for this Zotac http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6968/zotac-geforce-gtx-970-amp-extreme-edition-video-card-review/index11.html

Dude the Asus Strix is considered as the best all round! But I like the G1 more as the cooling solution is the best so it`s between the G1 and the Strix, the Strix is clocked higher at stock if I`m not mistaken...

But no doubt they are the 2 best all rounders! Just keep AVGA SSC also n mind, very nice also!

Just get the cheapest, high-end cooling setup from Asus/Evga/Gigabyte/MSI

The prizes are around:
G1 390
MSI (red) 365
Asus 355.

As you can see G1 becomes a little more expensive than the others.
Its worth the difference or should i go for the msi/asus?

Thank you again.

 

[TNT27]

No the difference is so tiny, I wouldnt even consider it if it were 5$ more than its competition.

Id actually go with the Asus Strix in this case.

 

[McDuncun]

The Asus strix is the very very highest of quality but the G1 runs the coolest so it depends on what it is that you want... Just remember the G is very long also so you must make sure it will fit in your chassis as well!

 

[sora]

I would personally go for the ASUS Strix NVIDIA GTX 970.

 

[mrhippo900]

If you want one that overclocks like a pro ASUS Strix, otherwise the G1 Gaming is simply the best.

 

[Tommynew]

And what about the gigabyte windforce windoforce?
Is there a big difference between this and the g1?
Windforce is around 375

G1 is highly overclocked and will perform better in most situations.

Again, just get the cheapest of the high-end coolers from GIgabyte,Asus,MSI, Evga. Only when they are same price should you consider what brand is better, as they are very similar, reliable, cooling, sound, etc. After all it still is just a gtx 970 at its core.

 

[Tommynew]

Sorry but what is an high-end cooler?
Do you mean that i shouldnt consider gpus with only one fan or is there something else that i have to know? (novice question)
Thank you.

Thank you.

High end cooler can be many things from the amount of direct heat pipes to the amount of fans there are.

High end coolers from the most reliable gtx 970s:
Asus: Strix
Gigabyte: G1
Msi: Gaming

Just get the cheapest from those three.
Evga's ACX 2.0 is also great if you can find it much cheaper than those three

Thank you.

I feel that ASUS STRIX is the best GTX 970 .I bought it a few weeks ago and its performance is amazing.
It has higher clock speed than other GTX 970's. Its 30 % cooler and is really silent
Also it much cheaper than some GTX 970's >

Trust me you will love Asus Strix GTX 970

Is there any noticeable difference due to the different power supply?

Could it be a problem?

YES!!!
Power Supply Unit = VERY IMPORTANT!!!

you must give your computer the required power to be able to get good performance
For my rig i5 4440, Asus Strix GTX 970, 8 GB RAM, and Asus z97 pro
I use 650 watts

Sorry i havent explained very well.
Im reffering to the connectors that the strix has, different to the msi/gygabyte ones.
