Great thread Gibbo with very good information. Thanks for your effort, its worthy of sticky status for those who are struggling to decide which card to get.

G1Gigabyte 1440Mhz core.

Galax GTX 970 EXOC
Boost:1478
Memory: 1951
Voltage: 0
TDP: 115
Asic: 67.8% 1st card, 63.1% 2nd card.

1st card only boosts to 1.175v, 2nd to 1.212v. Have a feeling these cards can go much higher with more volts - roll on custom bios :)

MSI is top so far.. everyone recommended me the gigabyte G1 :confused:

Do you think the msi is top because of better earlier stocks?

It's only top of the poll chart, not which card is best.

I bought an MSI because of the cooling and the stock clocks, but i wish i'd waited for the 970 with titan cooler.

It's that what made me question it as it sounds like you think you've been given bad advice.

I'm sure the msi is great and yes the gigabyte comes highly recommended! Just I was expecting the gigabyte to be top but maybe it will creep up now there back in stock!

Thanks for advice stulid always appreciated.
