Well unless you have a case where the mobo orientation is horizontal, otherwise I think the biggest turn off is looking at this in a normal F-ATX/ATX/M-ATX case...

Personal preference of course.
For me though, ugh...
That. It's like a huge matchbox. sweat.gif

This.. my friend, is the ultimate air-cooled GTX980. Furmark stress tested for 30minutes and only recording 55c (ambient 23c). Absolutely mind-boggling.

Well, the look is definitely not for me but the temp... the temp is really very good. Especially for our hot weather here.

Asus is cool and quiet(3 years warranty). Zotac slightly hotter and higher clocked but still very quiet(3+2 years warranty). EVGA not sure can get it here?

Ok, I think then it makes more sense. When I first unbox my Strix, it did have that new "electronic" smell too. Something similar to those "plastic" smell only available in new cars. Anyway, that smell is no longer there now. Can't be precise when it got away though, didn't go and sniff my rig... hahaha...

At the moment I'm only considering the 970.

Are you going to SLI it? If not, I doubt a single GTX970 can even game "proper" in 4K res. Heck, I think a single GTX980 can't even do it.

* anyway, if wanna game at 4K, I think Radeon cards does them better.

According to SG distributor, early adopters don't get anything other than the Phantasy Star code. It was previously under NDA so they couldn't say when it was going to launch.

You'll only need 8GB cards if you're running multi-mons/high res display/4K.

Depend on AMD card. Haha... suddenly AMD come out with 970 competitors...

Yes, it all depends of competition. When one control the market, they can literally control the price. The competitive price of 970 is largely perhaps of the success of 290/290X kicking Nvidia ass.

Finally gigabyte have replied to me the ubisoft game code . They just restored my faith to buy another one of their g1 gtx 970 card

user posted image . Problem now dunno what game to redeem

Assassin creed unity - the stuttering is unbearable plus I heard online play lag like hell

The Crew - Mix review , dead environment , retarded AI but pros its an open world game and I like test drive unlimited series

Farcry 4 - the color seems to be washed up compared to console counterpart . New patch solve the stuttering issue but im not really impressed with story and gameplay .

I know this is not really the right thread for this question . But to all other 970 gang what path have you taken  laugh.gif  ?
*
I had taken Farcry 4. (It's almost 1 month ago when I got the code)
Reasons:

1. Heard too many negative reviews regarding AC:U
2. The Crew also from Ubisoft. No more confidence in their new release games. (haven't release yet when I redeemed the code)
3. Farcry 4. The only multiple positive reviews I read out of the 3 titles.

Having said all that, a bit in me was hoping I should have taken The Crew.
