Hi guys, well you all know the big news about the 970... but i was wondering for the price, and for games at 1080p is it a good choice?, i mean is it worth it now with all this vram bs? i was this close to get one last week before all this happend so now im doing some research and i want to summon all of you guys to help me decide, should i go with this card or not?

 

P.S: will a 970 g1 fit in my thermaltake commander?

 

P.S.S: love you guys!

It'll be fine at 1080p.  If you plan on playing on surround monitors, or playing at 1440p or 4k, that's a different story

Its a great choice and it should fit no issue, I got a G1 Gaming to fit into a Thermaltake V3 Black Edition with ease. You might have to move a HDD cage though to get it to fit, will depend on clearance in the end.

Yeah and 1440p shouldn't be a issue in games unless your hitting the VRAM Cap on the card. The last .5GB being slower isn't gonna effect your gaming at all if any it will be a little bit. All cards act differently though when they go into the last .5GB of Memory though.
