[Hardware Pron+Impressions] Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970

Just got my new GPU and man is this a nice looking card! Took a few pics and thought I'd share so that anyone looking into this GPU can get an idea of what it will look like.

This is going to be long, so prepare your scrollwheels!

The shroude and backplate on this card are very robust. I got a pretty decent OC on this card, 1500ish MHz on the core to start. I plan on messing around a bit more and getting a bit higher of an OC, but man is this card cool! 60c is the highest I've gotten yet. Only gripe I've noticed so far is the fact that the fans don't stop spinning at idle, but other than this I am thorought convinced this is the best GTX 970.

I used a Canon Rebel SL1 with crap lighting. They could look better but most didn't turn out. :P
