I really don't think the LEDs are appropriate and when you're spending that much on a graphics card, they really should not have gone with plastic.

Hopefully Zotac realizes this because I wouldn't say these are a complete failure by any means. Such an improvement over their old coolers, and I really wonder how much the power delivery changes matter.. Doesn't seem like all that much but I'm more interested in what a 980 will do with similar features.

NVidia in a nutshell

I love the advances Invidia had made it taking things other than just pure power into consideration with the new 900 series. By being more efficient with less power draw and just those benchmarks wow! Its going to be hard for AMD to compete now!

I'm planning on doing a build with a 980/390 mid - late next year and this would knock around $750 off the build price, assuming it drops by around $200-250 by then.

ZOTAC sent us their two beastly editions of the GTX 970. These cards look pretty darn cool in our opinion, but do they overclock as well as their flashy design would suggest?

 

 

This video will be available at 4am PST on October 17, 2014.

I was sceptical of the Zotac cooled 970s as I'd never heard anything great about their coolers before, but with the omega card being the cheapest available to me right now, I may just go for it
