Hello gentleman of the internet. As opposed to the fact that we wouldn't like to see GPUs "R! K! O!" each other on a WWE SHOWDOWN, here I'd like to ask you what do you think about GTX 970s (few of them) and what Video Card could be better in terms of bucks to performance. (We talking about prices in Poland for now :3 )

 

SO HERE WE GO!

 

In Red Corner we have

MSI GTX 970 G1 Gaming for 430 USD


In Black Corner we have

Gigabyte GTX 970 OC for 415 USD

 

In Blue Corner we have

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 for 450 USD

 

Which one is better?! Which one is more silent? Which one gives more power?! Which one is good for BitFenix Prodigy M?! WHICH WILL BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THE COMPETITION?!!

LET'S GET READDDYYYYYYY TOOOOOO RUUUUUMMMMBBBLLLEEEEEE!!!! (Sory... Got a little carried away :D)

 

P.S. Add your suggestions with cards that will give me better performance/buck, but still carry ULTRA capabilities (ULTRA settings, ULTRA resolutions, ULTRA POWER!!!)

They are all good cards if you want to go overclocking or watercooling get the EVGA if you want a good silent card get the Gigabyte but do note it's long so you won't  want that in your prodigy I think.

I'm personally stuck between the SC ACX 2.0 and the G1 Gaming, I like the overall look of the SC ACX 2.0 and its smaller size, though I like the backplate, low noise level under load, cool temps, and glowing logo of the g1 gaming...

The EVGA looks like the best solution in a small form factor, the 3 fans on the windforce exhausting a tonne of heat into a small case IS NOT good. And MSI is just meh

Yeah. Palit is cheap. That's why I don't trust it :D

Btw. Can you use MSI afterburner with any GTX 970?

EVGA are cheapskates and therefore don't deserve your money.  They are on my **** list along with MSI.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

MSI card has a nice red sexy looking and weird fan blades. But too bad, I'm not a big fan of MSI.

 

For the Gigabyte, either G1 or non-G1 ver. is heavily overclocked. Nice backplate and I like an 8 pins connector. But there are 2 things that I don't like. First is the blue LED logo is not for everyone... I don't like it because it can't fit my red mobo theme. Second is the card length is much longer than my d***. it won't fit my case...

 

EVGA is a great choice and I'm planning to get it. I think there is no point to get a FTW ver. because you can OC your card by yourself anyway. And I don't see any improvement on ACX 2.0 over 1.0. I will get a blower ver. instead because a blower is a better solution for hot case issue, louder noise doesn't matter to me.

 

In indigo corner we have

Asus Strix for an even more costly.. But silent operation. Moderate cooling performance, pretty nice stock OC speed even though they are not very necessary. quite good build quality, but I don't like a new Strix design for some reason, the older gen looks better..

I can recommend the Gigabyte, depening where you live it might be your best option. The other cards are passively cooled but run at higher temps. If you live in a hot place get the Gigabyte one.

Gigabyte is the bad choice for BitFenix Prodigy M because of the size. And yes, Gigabyte is the best at cooling solution, but don't forget that it will bring more workload on Prodigy M to discharge the heat. If the case temp is hot, then the card will be hot anyway.

Oh yeah sorry.

OP consider a blower style cooler if your case is too small /:

Ok. So what are my choices with Back Blowers? I only know Palit. Recommended by one person and cheapest card in Poland :D

BTW. Looking at dimensions Gigabyte should fit just fine.

BTW2. I have i5-K and it's Damn powerful on stock and I won silicone lottery with it staying way cooler than all the others even tho I'm pushing it's Graphics to the limit.

So! What Back Blower or I'm going with Gigabyte (As I have a blue themed rig it would fit right in! :D)

Reusing cooling solutions for old cards with the 900 series cards is what they did.  **** EVGA.

I can personally recommend the Strix, especially due to the 0db feature. Perfect for me, when I'm not gaming I use the speakers on my monitor so it is nice that my PC next to me is silent and when I'm gaming I wear headphones :)

i guess that little bit of extra power on the g1 gets null'd by the 0 db feature on the strix.

strix it is :D
