awesome... now wait for some seller sell game coupon under RM100 in garage... (i bet they take from this offer )

decided to take the dip



not the best gtx 970 but works well enough for me

Money well spent bro!

Can i buy your 290 for a cut price of RM5xx?

SOLD LIAO!

Are my card normal? little coil whine only and open casing only spotted like mosquito volume.
All is stock speed. TQ

How much is this model in Malaysia now? I'm in the US and I just saw this at MicroCenter a few hours ago, was at a ridiculously jacked up price of $399.

Czone selling for RM1259

Tarak black Friday price boss?

About normal I think , here is my score without overclocking .
Bare in mind G1 version clock speed is higher than standard gtx 970

With newer driver 334.75
TQTQ.

Bought at Sri Computer(i know haha) but their pricing is slightly lower than other shop @ RM1190

If you wanna buy from Viewnet , it's RM1250 and they'll give you an AMD Never Settle game coupon , they also sell galaxy cards which is quite interesting.

But for Asus Strix most of the shops that I've been to it's usually out of stock and I don't see any Gigabyte cards(gtx 970/980) anywhere either

Performance wise it's very good, idle temp is around 32-38 degrees and at full load (benchmark with unigine heaven) , it ran up to 76 degrees which is acceptable to me


A of now, I don't notice any coil whine yet. hopefully it stays that way

huh you got amd endorsed game instead of nvidia inbed with ubisoft game ? Contemplating whether to get another gtx 970 for sli but my case cant fit another g1 gaming gtx 970 . Is it true that even if I used different brand gtx 970 it will use the lower clock card to match the speed ?

Will that be a much issue in terms of performance ? Looking where pc gaming is heading it looks like single card wont just cut it even if you are gaming at 1080p with all eye candy on . I'm a graphic whore and 60 fps addict

Combining either zotac gtx 970 , msi gtx 970 or asus strix 970 with a gtx g1 gaming 970 will that be a problem ?

I'd like to get a 970 too, what with its 4GB memory(I play Skyrim and VRAM is crucial for mods).

Then again, my concern is bus speed. Only 256bit seems like it'll be a bottleneck. Can it truly use all 4GB of that VRAM? What about the rumored 8GB versions of 970/980? I imagine that much VRAM means those cards are targeted at people who do SLI. Would it mean anything at all for single-GPU?

get a new case

provided same GPU model, no issue regardless of cooler type. the drivers know how to detect diff models and adjust itself

but ofc, its always better to get same model together (think of it like RAMs)

Maxwell architecture can address the memory more efficient than Kepler based cards. although 256bit seems little compared to 780 and above's 384bit, its still more than capable enough

EDIT: with my 3GB GTx 780, i reached the limit several times with games like Shadow Of Mordor, CODAW and Watch Dogs, GPU-Z tells me its eating up 3GB of VRAM too

Whoa...

Based on your input, I guess I'm picking up a 970 after all.

Goddamnit, January just can't come soon enough.

just hold up until AMD releases new stuff, high possibility Nvidia might counter with 'real' 20nm Maxwell cards

but if your current card is >2 years old, it justifies the upgrade

I got my Gigabyte G1 Gaming there for RM1,399 too. They also selling Asus Strix for RM1,420. Less than most shop. That was few weeks ago.
Their price seems like pretty competitive for some parts and many people overlook at Sri Computer

That price makes sense. $400 doesn't and that's not inclusive of the 8% sales tax yet.


$400 is their black Friday price... which is why I was wtf'ing all the way out of the store.


That price really ain't bad at all. I'd pick this "stock" 970 over other stock 970s from the other manufacturers. Pushed for max core clocks yet?

u go green from r9 290 ? new R9 3xx out early next year... really ?

add: oh saw the box look hypnotic.. tiger eye glow...

My Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming is so quiet that I just realized I need to replace my CM Megaflow and the 120mm Jetflow...Noctua perhaps?
