gtx 970

[skrg12]

hey i have been thinking about buying a gtx 970 but not sure which model to purchace

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit or the

Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Edition 4GB GDDR5

both has almost the same specs

could any one tell me which has the better performance and better video quality looking at going 4k

[ANewFace]

Get the EVGA SSC

[MattP123]

A 970 can't drive a 4k display in most games. 

[yourdad165]

Gigabyte makes the best 970s.

[Fate]

A 970 can't drive a 4k display in most games. 

most newer AAA games*

If you looked at all games, it would play most of them maxed out/near maxed out including things like Skyrim, racing games, MOBA's, CS:GO, MMO's, simulators, etc.

does you case has a windowed panel? I wouldnt buy anything that doesnt have a backplate, aka EVGA. I recently got the G1 Gaming for Gigabyte, but I was looking at the Asus Strix as well. even Zotac Amp! and Extreme have a backplate.

 

they pretty much have the same performance, of course bigger the cooler, better the OC. but thats another debate.

gaming at 4K is epeen right now, also get the EVGA SSC. the heatpipe layout is more in line with Gigabyte windforce and arctic accelero coolers, but more compact.

i have been looking at the base clock and the boost clock the evga ftw has the highest

in terms of cooling i have a haf x case

[Zweihander]

The new iteration of the EVGA SSC has a much better cooling system.

 

Unfortunately however, no backplate pre-installed. On another note, a single 970 isn't going to do wonders for you @ 4K.  :mellow:

[skrg12]

if yo have to compare the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 to the evga 970 which is better

[Zweihander]

The G1 is better for OCing, as far as I know...and has a backplate. 

 

But EVGA has unrivaled customer support, and the step-up program. Either card would be a good choice, however.

To play games at 4K you can't use a single GTX 970. Unless its not a demanding game, its gonna lag like crazy.
