Review: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming
Next to the flagship product we also test the more budget Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 SOC gaming graphics card. The product does not vary much from the 980 other than a chunk of performance. This card however has one 6 and one 8-pin power feed but then again, does come with a WindForce 3X cooler. The G1 Gaming 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 and how well it performs.

We review the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most silent of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX runs reference c...

Great! Another kickass 970 which makes it even harder to choose.
This card is available in Sweden but in very small quantities though shipments are incoming in about 2 weeks which is too far off. I love the backplate on this card and the fact that it's cooler than the MSI which seems to have hot VRMs.
But if there are problems with the cooler then its a big no-no.

Yeah.
I guess the only unknown now is the Palit Jetstream version. Its availible now and is cheaper than the others, but dont know if its cooler is any good or has a custom pcb and/or upgraded power phases (like the Asus and MSI)
Yea only less popular brands are available at the moment, the rest are pre order. Gives me week or 2 to decide and read few more reviews!

Guru3D liked the 780Ti JetStream so I assume the 970 version will be as good that one. I did own the 780Ti version for a week or so but returned it since the cooler was so large (3 slots) and fairly noisy.

So anyone here notice/hear any coil whine? There were reports from a couple of G1 970 owners on a fairly popular 3d-related website and I've been wondering.. Could be just an isolated issue if no one else here's had it!..?
