QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Nov 28 2014, 05:38 PM) Currently, the price isn't really attractive. At RM1299, there are other slightly better alternatives available, e.g Gainward Phantom which costs only RM1199. But performance wise? is it comparable? |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Nov 28 2014, 10:23 PM) As Darksilver mentioned above, the difference in performance is negligible. I've managed to compare Palit Jetstream 970 (1152MHz) vs. Asus Strix 970 (1114MHz), the difference in performance is only 0.13%, with Jetstream pulling ahead by that miniscule margin. Yes, that little. aight. thanks all for the insight! time to get myself a christmas present then, only using a 760 currently   |

Just got the Leadtek GTX970 but man, the coil whine is horrible.
Tried using V-Sync and FPS Cap to limit the GPU load but the problem is still there. |

Using a FSP Raider 550W, temp maxes out at 70C with fan speed about 55%.
The card was on default, didn't change any settings whatsoever. EDIT: I was using a Zotac GTX760 before this with the same setup and there was no coil whine. This post has been edited by Paradice: Dec 16 2014, 09:46 AM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Dec 16 2014, 09:49 AM) FSP Raider 550W...... But I was using a GTX760 previously and there was no issue. Isn't the power requirement for 970 somewhat similar to 760? (in fact, I think 970 should be more efficient no?)That could be your problem. The 750W version ripple is quite high. Not 100% Japanese capacitors. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story4&reid=310 |

Just some update guys.
did the fan speed up to 70%, still got coil whine. Tried the GPU at my friend's place, he has a Superflower HX600 80+gold, coil whine still present. I guess the conclusion is that my gpu's the cause of it. |

QUOTE(NecroPhilia @ Jan 3 2015, 12:36 AM) Do you go for RMA or just stay crazy with it? stay crazy with it. Seller not going to help out with RMA because there are claims that all 970 have this problem. so we'll see how it goes, sides, performance is not affected. |
