Which GTX 970 should i buy?

meritmaster

Well i'm upgrading my card, as the GTX 970 seems like a deal to me, and my GTX 660 ti is starting to get dated, so i managed to save around $350, and maybe $380, but i don't know what version of the card i

should get, or from who, so i'm wondering what model of the GTX 970 is best bang for my buck?

Gigabyte windforce looks snazy and performs great. IMO.

other than that, just whatever looks nice in your opinion.

Gigabyte G1 Gaming. Make sure you get the G1 gaming version for higher binning and the backplate which looks sweet and prevents sagging.

 

Asus Strix is also a good option.

You should probably hold on to that 660Ti for just a little while longer and see what 20/22nm brings, allegedly just around the corner. The 660Ti is no slouch...

 

But if you really want to upgrade --> Strix/G1 for me
