Hey guys, I'm getting a GTX 970 soon but I'm wondering about which GPU vendor I should get. I quite like the STRIX's Silent mode but I've had horrible RMA service from them before, I also like the G1 Gaming Card, been hearing it has the best cooler out there but is it quiet?

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600x | GPU GIGABYTE GTX 1070ti WINDFORCE | MOBO ASUS Prime X570-P | MEMORY XPG Spectrix 2x8GB 3200MHz  | PSU OCZ Zx 850W | CASE NZXT H440

I'd recommend the gigabyte g1 gaming.

 

Also, linus put out a video of @Lays tutorial on enabling 0rpm mode on any gtx 970, I did it on my gtx 970 g1 gaming and it works flawlessly.

The g1 gaming is also quieter under load than the strix. (at least with a custom fan curve)

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

Yes and you can use any 900 series card in fanless mode with a simple bios mod.. Linus did a vid on it.

Oh yea....Lol forgot about that.
