best 970?

[Doldey123]

Just a quick question, what is the best custom pcb 970?

[EzioSan]

Msi Or gigabite 

gigabite a tiny bet better performance

msi 0db fan mode..

 

asus has backplate and 0dbfan but has lower  (base)clocks compared to the other 2

 

if you want to OC i saw some good results with gigabite

 

if not get the msi

Gigabyte G1 has a backplate aswell

Whatever you can find at the point. Any GTX 970 is better than none at all

[EpicNeuron]

Depends on what you find more important. performance ( i thought it is a few % difference between the models) ) and level of noise the card makes.

Gigabyte G1

 

Best cooling

Best overclocking

Virtually silent

Great build quality

Great CS

Msi and gigabyte depending on what you prefer.

 

Gigabyte and the msi have better vram and overall cooling than the asus strix does, the asus also cannot pull as much power as the other two which both result in lesser oc's for the 970 strix.

 

 

The msi is the quietest 970 out the lot, while running really cool with a good chance at a good oc.

The gigabyte is the best ocer though and runs slightly cooler than the msi and the rest of the cards and cools the vram the best, as the three fans cover more area but is louder than the msi.

So basically -  quiet all rounder : msi gaming /   Best oc and few C cooler - gigabyte g1
