What is the differents!?!?!?

[onecritman]

Ok iv been told by ALOT of people to buy a gtx 970 for my needs... now the thing they never mention is...

 

WHICH gtx 970? the is like 500 ****ing versions if someone can explain this to me or tell me what be best thank you.

 

Needs: playing call of duty black ops 3 in highest settings but not 4k same for overwatch and whicher

They are mostly the same, the clocks speeds vary a little and they have different coolers that may make a little more or less noise and have the card running a little hotter or cooler.

 

An R9 390 is generally a better buy than a GTX 970 though, but not by a wide margin.

1. Do you want to overclock

2. How much space for your gpu do you have (slots and lenght)

3. Is your pc case well ventilated?

4. How much do you care about noise?

5. How much do you care about looks?

6. How much do you care about the price?

In that case id just pick the cheapest from a good company with an open cooler.

EVGA has one with the for 300$ and you get the devision with that.

Make sure you have 25 cm of space for the card to get in (its longer) and a 400w or more psu with 6 pcie 6 pins.

i looked online the case is called NZXT Lexa S Mid Tower im 99% sure its a shit case and i got the number of fans wrong but i liked the look and everything i own is like that because it reminds me of project yi from league of legends (i love yi i even got his sword made for me :http://postimg.org/image/itzuo3f25/ :3)

nah, the case is fine dont worry. It fits gpus up to 27 cm so a 970 should fit, although there are some cards that are over 30cm so watch out when you upgrade again.

thank you, you have been extremely helpful (and tbh i think most people that say get a gtx 970 only say that because other people told them to get the same because when i ask them the differents they dont know what im on about) so you deserve a cookie :3

[Attis]

Gpu prices are getting cheaper, I would wait

I would hang on to your 550 ti with new cards just around the corner.
