Thanks. It wasnt much of an upgrade tbh, I found a GTX 570 for £50 in a local CEX store and bought it. I know that the difference in FPS is only about 6% however I wanted Nvidia Physx in my games as well as an extra performance bump for recording vids and so on...

 

Oh and it is a Gainward GPU with double dissipation so I got it for the awesome looks too.

Physx is awesome. For £50 that's a great deal though, nicely done :) +Points for aesthetics... If it looks awesome, it is awesome!

Thanks, didnt you say you were also in the UK? I dont really recommend it but maybe try to sell ur 970 to CEX. You probably wont get as much for it but if you want the money quickly then it may be worth it. Also I may as well point this out but this is what is looks like... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gainward+gtx+570&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZxpj86rHKAhWFVhQKHWPqC5AQ_AUICCgC&biw=1280&bih=923#imgrc=ShPt-yx3tKs-NM%3A

I did! Thanks man, I'll look into CEX. Selling used GPU's ain't all that easy so yeah that could be helpful. And that looks pretty clean! thanks for the link + suggestion :)

No problem. I also searched on the CEX website and they will take a 970 for £133 I think.
