Do all these MSI GTX970 come with a mouse mat yes? A shiny new black mouse mat would be very useful (could get rid of this silly blue EDF energy one i had from work)

Hi there

Great news!

800pc of MSI 970 Gaming has arrived!!!

Stop tempting me Gibbo :mad:

Not upgrading till full fat Maxwell, honest...

Getting this GTX770 wasent my ideal but couldnt justify the cost of the £500 GTX780. Then GTX780ti came along & thought id have it if it dropped to sub £350. Now these have come GTX970s come along & still humming & harring. It really is a case of "I dont need it, but wouldnt mind a change". Trigger pulled.

Has he actually changed sides?

Ayahuasca · 22 Sep 2014 at 13:59

I think he was joking, you wouldn't see Matt using nvidia cards especially now he's an AMD rep.

I was considering the ACX ones, not in stock at the moment though are they?

That's really poor stuff from EVGA

stulid · 22 Sep 2014 at 14:37

Not in stock.

It might be that the cooler is from an older card.

Asus did this with the 290/X, they used the DC II cooler from the GTX 780 and bolted it straight to Hawaii, the 780 (GK110) is much bigger than Hawaii (552mm2^ vs 438mm2^) so the outer two of its four heat pipes didn't make contact with the die, result: overheating.
