gtx 970 guide

[neel]

after my asus gtx 680 4gb now is the right time for an upgrade and i am thinking if gtx 970. But it seems that there are just too many options to choose from. Asus strix, msi twin frozer( cant recll the xact name), gigabyte g1(same case cant recall the xact name). www.overclock.net/t/1516121/gtx-970-comparison-strix-vs-msi-gaming-vs-gigabyte-g1 thus link is for which one is the best 970 out of the above three companies. Now, i find the gigabyte to be best because of maximum power limit which will prevent power nd thermal throttling nd a good cooling solution for vrm but i am not sure about the availibility of it in India. asys strix nd zotac amp extreme is available but i cant find the in depth review of zotac amp extreme. if not zotac then after i'll go for gigabyte aftr seeing rhe review link given abovebut zotac seems good on paper. i dont know about in depth stuff. so, it'll be great if anyone takes the initiative to review the card

to put it shortly they are basically the same and on have minimal differences like the cooler or PCB layout that improves thermals and and sound. In Linus's video about the Gigabyte G1 GTX 980 he noticed a higher power usage, but also more FPS so depending if power consumption is an issue or not I would get the G1 or the asus one since it has a really good cooler

Get the Gigabyte G1.

Gigabyte seems the most promising, i would say strix and asus too. The EVGA cooler is apparently having probs, but good RMA so idk.

What about the MSI TwinFrozr 5?

i dnt care about the noise from the card. g1 is the best of the three but what abiut the zotac one, i dnt find any review or details of it, which one better between g1 nd the zotac one when compared wrt game fps, feature. zotac is giving some usb cable to connect it to motherbrd to do something, which i dnt know in details nd whether its good or bad etc etc
