patience! but if you are going to wait, get the EVGA SC or Classified.

But but but patience is not the option right now for me

LOL i know the feeling!

I ordered ASUS Geforce GTX 970 Strix costing me $440 will be available in 20 to 25 days

We await pictures, benchmarks, meltdowns etc

probably on xmas hopefully

congrats, very nice GPU

thanks dude :) can't wait for it to arrive!

I personally run EVGA cards only. I've had incredibly good luck with them, and the support team is amazing. I had a card die on me over a weekend, (Warranty Expired Monday), they replaced my card 9800GTX+, and upgraded me to a free 200s series card, included shipping in it.

Honestly, I'd have to say Gigabyte / MSI. I personally, don't like ASUS. I've had a TON of problems with ASUS, the only thing that hasn't broken on me is my DVD Drive, and I rarely use that. My MOBO from ASUS was a piece of crap, ROG. After 9 months, I had overheating problems, sensors failed, and ended up ruining my MOBO. Couldn't get warranty on it, because I couldn't find their damn site. Point is, go with what you feel is a good choice. You can debate the stats on something till you're old and grey, but you'll never know if you don't give it a chance. Personally, I'd buy a cheaper card to hold me over, and wait for EVGA cards.

^ u just had bad luck :) with ASUS products.. I don't think they are that bad at all.. not to mention EVGA still haven't fixed there ACX coolers Copper pipes properly aligned to the GPU chip.

I won't be running stock coolers, I'll have my water cooling setup :)

EVGA not available here right now and they came and already gone so now I can't wait 2 months for it to arrive :)

Get the Windforce G1 version very powerful

yes I have my eye on it too looks pretty badass card but is it better than Asus Strix???

I have to say it is and with EVGA right now people are having sick issues atm supposedly don't know how true also Gigabyte improved their cards all around the best right now


I would say asus is cool too but the gigabyte is better Hey Noober didn't you sell your Asus 780ti because it sucked for a Kingpin just saying lol
