I'm pretty jealous. The g1 is the best looking 970 imo. Sli is even better ...

 

It looks good, I just don't like how open the top side is.

Is there any place to buy a ref 970?

Yep. I bought one from best buy. They are about 380 though so they're slightly more expensive.

Well seeing as the G1 Gaming's boost clock is a lot higher than the HerculeZ, I think we know which card is better. If you want to compare Inno3d and Gigabyte's 970, G1 Gaming would win because of speed. The looks are pretty debatable as well

The Galax cards look truly stunning but I personally find the MSI GTX 970 to be the best. Make it blue and black, and it is even better.

I prefer any card with a backplate. And since the only 970 I know of with a backplate is the STRIX I'd go with that (and the ref design has one as well, but it's louder).
