OCing GPU is still useful in situations when you want that extra frames to reach 60fps minimum, especially when you dont want to compromise detail settings.

That said, i rarely overclock GPU these days. 1.3k isnt exactly pocket change for poor people like me, so i want to keep my GTX 970 working as long as i can. Thankfully i play mostly old games.

why i never see before "nvidia" series one?
all only other brands. or i slowpoke?

A GTX970 reference card?

Very hard to find.

i mean packing directly with nvidia box.
mostly are from other manufacturer,rite?
or nvidia dun actually ship?

They have. But super hard to find one brand new. I assumed in limited quantity.

Stock > all

MSI GTX970
GALAX GTX970
ASUS GTX970
GBYTE GTX970

Actually hor these brands make any difference?

fuuuyooooo poor ppl but can spend >rm1k. psychology Tipu la ni.

970 series I think can la newer games -> High/Ultra Settings.

GALAX brand is the cheapest at the moment. RM1399 can get 970 ady.

Asus has longer lasting high quality parts, but Gigabyte wins for Malaysians because of better support, or at least thats what ive been told. Asus reportedly sucks huge ass whenever you need to return your ware for warranty coverage.

Theres a reason Malaysian traders love to price Gigabyte cards more expensively than all else in Malaysia. High end Gigabtte cards are also usually using higher binned chips.

Dont quote me though. Im just a poor man who got lucky in the silicon lottery that his Leadtek GTX 970 can overclock  as high as Asus. Normal people buying cheap brandds arent so lucky.

Last time 1000 ringgit got 970 and SSD

I checked around dy hor....

Gainward GTX970 Phantom, RM12xx sja.

tis is the cheapest liao for 970 series.
