SInce most people seem to be choosing number 1, should I add any extra text as just "MSI GTX 970" looks a little bit bland :P

The second one would look the best on a GPU's backplate!

Yeah idk whether people are actually taking in to consideration what it would look like as a GPU backplate.

Yep, the 1st and 3rd images won't look very good when they are on a GPU backplate inside a case, also backplates will likely have vent holes which will make the 1st & 3rd ones look weird.

2nd Image will look the best on a GPU backplate.

 

You have to imagine how the GPU will look inside a case when it's installed with a custom backplate.

I'm starting to steer towards second one the more I think of how it will actually look.

Also no venthole as this is just an acrylic design :)

I like the second one best but I think "Twin Frozr V" should be removed and it just say "GTX 970"

Any reason as to why?

Add "Twin Frozr V" to the top left corner of the first image and it'll be perfect.
