MSI Officially announces GTX 970 GAMING 4G GOLDEN EDITION
MSI is pleased to announce a special and limited edition GAMING graphics card powered by NVIDIA's GTX 970 GPU. The new MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G GOLDEN EDITIONfeatures increased clock speeds and improved cooling performance thanks to an all copper heatsink and heatpipe with anti-oxidation treatment.
The new MSI twin Frozr V Thermal Design is the pinnacle of graphics card air cooling. With a smaller than 2-slot design the new Twin Frozr V is able to surpass previous generation's by a large margin. The new 10cm Torx fans ensure huge amounts of silent airflow and visually match the bold new look of the Twin Frozr V.
The heatsink itself is re-organized through the SuperSU design which increases heat-pipe efficiency, especially when combined with Airflow Control Technology. Hybrid Frozr is a throwback to 2008 when MSI was the first to market high-end, zero noise graphics cards thanks to fans that stop spinning in low-temperature situations. Additionally, you will find Independent Fan Control on certain models which allows fans to spin independently of one-another based on component temperature below the fans.
With the GTX 970 GAMING 4G GOLDEN EDITION, the next-generation of MSI GAMING graphics cards MSI is leveling-up the PC gaming experience. The MSI Gaming App allows gamers to quickly switch between OC, Gaming and Silent modes depending on their needs. Now featuring the EyeRest tab, which offers quick access to specific monitor color profiles for games, movies and a special EyeRest mode which reduces blue light. Reduction in blue light emission helps tune your body to the night-time so it's easier to rest after long gaming sessions.

Are those golden edition cards going to be the new "lightning" models? Because they didn't release the last lightning they made for the consumer market...

Zotac always had that colour palette, why should I pay a premium just for MSi's name?

It has a 100% copper heatsink which will be more effective than the regular heatsink. Copper is more 3X more expensive than Aluminium.

No, I don't see anything about the kind of boosted power delivery and voltage options seen previously on lightning cards.

Each to their own I suppose but I find Gold coloured products like this very "tacky". Their black and red theme looks much better and I am not even a fan of red
