Best non reference 970?

[Dombigred]

I want to know what you think is the best non reference 970 card

Please tell why

simple, what ever one is cheapest.

 

really though the card under is the same and cooler pretty much cools the same, pick one that matches your theme.

I'm thinking that you don't have a budget, so:

• Stirix
• G1 Gaming
• Superclocked ACX
• AMP! Extreme edition

I vote for msi gaming because of semi passive.

I have two G1 Gigabyte cards and an EVGA 970 SC cards. The EVGA had coil wine but a night of folding with it made it go away, that's very strange but very true. I like cards with backplates so that was factored into my decision. I have had a lot of Asus DCUII cards so I opted to not go with a Strix card as its basically the same thing and I didnt go with the MSI card because doesn't have a backplate, even though it matches my wife's rig perfectly.
