Budget £260 ish but they all look the same albeit some have more boost speed. I recognise all the brands but deciding is another matter.
Which 970 to get?
- Thread starter jimortality
- Start date
I have the MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G GeForce GTX 970 4GB.
Check out the review here - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_970_Gaming/
Quite happy with it. Runs with a higher base clock speed. Note: Power delivery requires one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.

One 8 and one 6 pin is what my current 770 uses I think.

Did ye, aye?
Don't think you can go wrong really, I have the Gigabyte GTX 970 Overclock edition and it is great. But I think as long as you go for a brand like MSI, Asus, Gigabyte or EVGA it should be fine.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking msi because that comes with the same connection as my 770 but yeah all those other makes are good too.

Same as me Mr Coin, very happy with it. You can't go wrong really Jim. All quality cards, I had ASUS before that's the reason I stuck with the Strix, I am happy OC'ing it and the 660Ti I had was bullet proof. Same can't be said of my T300RS which has died
after 2 weeks.

I hope you will find the first response to the question in this link useful: here
Aesthetics is certainly a factor, though minimising dust collection is also another point to add on top of the contents that person has written. Points 2,3, and 4 from that link don't really apply to a big extent in a straight fight between the good brands of the GTX 970, as Calum listed, such as MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA and ASUS, as the printed circuit boards are thicker, and their fans are all good for cooling.
I've owned the MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr since release and I couldn't be happier with the price and incredible performance, the fans are very quiet even when pushed quite hard. It truly has become a class-leading brand for the NVIDIA line of products. Aria.co.uk (I've purchased happily from there before) are selling this MSI GTX 970 card under your budget at the present time. It could be worth a look if you are interested.

I was going to say Jim before you ordered it check the dimensions, I had to get a new case as well to fit the bad boy in.

Should be the same as my 770 according to nvidia.
