MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming OC review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/19/2014 03:31 AM [ 70 comment(s) ]

We review the new MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming OC edition. This affordable model comes with the new TwinFrozr V cooler. The GM204-200 chip is smacked onto a custom PCB surrounded with Military class components and obviously, with OC in the name... it comes a little tweaked as well. This card however has one 6 and one 8-pin power feed and again, does come with that new revision model 5 TwinFrozr cooler. The card has 4 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and factory overclocked for you. You will be surprised by how this card looks, how silent it is, how well it performs and how much it can be overclocked.

Well he's buying a faster card for less money, who'd say no to that.

me? More of a sidegrade really...

if he goes sli 970 and sells his 780 then that makes sense to me..

I would go further with this.... Why to buy one or 2 when you can buy 4 of them

Maybe not 970 because memory bus would be huge pain in 4k, but 4x980 would be awesome for 4k setup.
970 and 980 have same memory bus.

Yes, you are right, just mixed 780ti specs with 980 specs xD

Just waiting to see if water blocks are released for this card may just bite the bullet and get two of these instead of the 980's as the price is too good.

thats what i am doing. waiting for some EK Blocks to come around then i'll get 2 x GTX 970's and slap the blocks on em hehe
