It's not worth it - it's just a blower-cooled version of the reference board.

 

EDIT - it's gorgeous, but the STRIX will have much better cooling for about the same price.

But it looks awesome!

I've been getting those ads lol, but I think its a nice looking card, much better looking than the strix series.

It's basically a white version of the boring blower version 970 that companies like PNY and MSI have... not even the "reference" Nvidia one

Someone made a thread in the tech news section about it already, but the title isn't exactly the best in terms of product indication or spelling: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/361581-sli-optinsed-970/

loud as fuck.

So based on what I can tell, its a redesigned blower style card on a non-reference 970? I am not sure if I see a point of it...

No, it intakes from both sides

I haven't actually been seeing it, since I have adblock Plus enabled. Guess how many ads it blocked on a single youtube page. 555!!!!!

The looks man, the sweet looks

So basically they went back to the 295/480 reference cooler design

Hmm, its alright, though I wouldn't personally get it as the white and red are pretty much opposites of my color scheme (Black and Blue)

 

The strix, EVGA ACX 2.0, and Gigabyte Windforce/G1 Gaming cards would all do better with cooling though.

 

And if I were to go for a blower design, I'd go for the reference cooler

[MuHammer]

the only real advantage of this card would be in 3 and 4 way sli configs because of the doublesided intake

 

but on the other hand you could just watercool them if you are going 3/4way

[Redsun20]

And if I were to go for a blower design, I'd go for the reference cooler

To me this seems like a card aimed at media center PC powerhouses. It will push hot air out, but then again, the looks won't do much if you can't see them

its a modified blower style cooler with 2 air intake. (bottom and top)  for ''better'' SLI performance.

@Slick should benchmark that

Eh...that can be argued about but its a subjective matter. Personally I think the reference cooler looks much better...minus the green leds.

[Redsun20]

minus the green leds.

Which can be turned off should you want to

[Untouchable]

Jesus, this card is amazing. Ha! jk. It just looks great but i bet the thermals are terrible just like a reference card.
