Well, it's limited to 2GB of VRAM. The cooler is eh and the design is eh (opinionated). Annnd it is not as strongly overclocked as some other cards.

 

I would recommend waiting a bit until the 1070 goes on sale, then see what happens to the new/used 970 prices to see if you can swoop one of those up for a cheap price.

Yeah i've thought of saving a bit more up to a 970. But I don't know about the 2GB VRAM. I can find wepsites that show 4 GB VRAM!? The only reason i want to buy it, is because i have a black and blue setup, and it's gonna kinda screw it up... I know i can take the cooler off, and paint the red over to a blue colour...

Wait for 1060 or Polaris. This is a terrible time to buy low end.

The Tiger Edition is white and black, isn't it? The Gaming Edition has both 4GB and 2GB and has a decent factory overclock. The Gaming Edition is red and black.

Yes it is white and black, and the tiger does have both 4 and 2Gb, but that isn't what matters. It is about the specs, if tiger is worse than the gaming edition, I will wait.
