Which GTX 970 versions

[Krytopsy]

Should I get GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 now or wait for GTX 970 ACX 2.0 Classified or wait for a MAYBE GTX 970 with 6 or 8 Gb VRAM ?

Which is the more shiny bling bling and yeah maybe w8 for the 8 gb u decide

[VincentiusIV]

Get the FTW ACX 2.0 ,  because i don't see the point to wait for a new cooler on that card.

 

What resolution are you playing at?

 

2-4GB is more then enough for 1080p

6-8GB i guess is more suited for 1440p?

I play on 21:9 1080p so 2560 x 1080 but I use DSR 3620 x 1527 or 5120 x 2160.

What about ASUS...?

For a single 970 4GB is plenty, it's very unlikely that you will ever need more than 4GB of VRAM. You will be bottlenecked by the actual performance way sooner.

EVGA make the best GPU overclocker, not only their Kingpin edition. Asus are my second choice tho

Depends on the resolution and amount of monitors

4 gigs is enough for one 1080p or 1440/1600p monitor

 

The 8gigs would only be useful if you are going SLi

and multiple monitors  

 

Also consider the Asus strix 970 as it's considered one of the best (If you aren't set on Evga)

[ImBleu]

Totally the R9 270. 

 

 

I'd go asus strix tbh. Infact, I did,

[Doughnutnator]

I would recommend the G1 Gaming depending on the price.

If it's only $10 more than the Strix or ACX 2.0 get it. You can OC it a lot.

G1 by Gigabyte, mine just arrived and its so hot ( not in the temp sense but you know)

Go with the one you like the most Or looks the best in your rig.
The performance difference is not very big.

The more Vram the card have the better since resolution eat up alot of RAM.
