Kingpin would be the best followed by G1 gaming 

MSI TF would be the best for black/red

Hi all,

 

With all the speculation about what might happen to all the 970s like recall ect. I might just ask for a refund and get a 980.

I have a black/red build that's very clean, so an appropriate color scheme would be awesome along with a backplate.

Can you guys point me towards and good card?

 

Thanks in advance!

If you want black/red I'd get a MSI GTX 980, the others aren't that much better/aren't worth the extra cash imo.

 

Be careful though, their customer support is pretty dissapointing

So what do you think will happen? I don't think they can get away with that.

"Huh yeah its 4gb but if you wanna use the last .5 gb good luck luls"

Actually I'd disagree. Best would be 980 with a waterblock. But yeah haha. With a normal cooler, Kingpin.

That's quite disappointing. I thought the 970s seemed a bit to good to be true. While it isn't completely illegal to say 4GB, I think they should have mentioned something about bandwith going to hell for that last .5GB. The 970 will most likely be my last card from NVIDIA.
