now showing only 6 in stock, must have been quite a few pre orders
Ah, sorry didn't look back far enough. So, this is looking a very good card indeed then! Overclocks very well it would seem. I'm still split though... how does this compare to the third party card/cooler options, especially as I'm in an NZXT H440 case which isn't the best for airflow. Single card though, no plans for SLI as yet.
Am I right in saying however that the reference cards tend to run a bit hotter? Does that not mean more heat is emanating from the card therefore creating more heat in the case? Or is the blower design specifically designed to take all that heat out? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
I have 2 980 reference cards and there the best cards I've ever owned. These cards are great for smaller cases as it blows all hot air out the back of case. Temps are also amazing. If I was looking for a reference card I would buy these in a heart beat. Also you will not find a 970 titan cooler anywhere , but here. Nice exclusive here Gibbo![]()
It gets better! Would be interesting to see some pics of the glued inductors.
does this mean it's the same vapour chamber cooler that was originally created for the Titan? or is it a step down from that cooler?
Thanks, that leaves me on the fence for now...
You won't find a vapour chamber on any of the ref 980s, it's a Titan only thing, as it stands.
If no other board partner does this, then I can see these holding their value more than any other 970
Just ordered one of these, I'm looking forward to a coil whine free cardWill report back tomorrow.
Superflower 1000w Plat, only the best
Nearly forgot to order an extra 6pin pcie!
That really is fantastic.
The vapour chamber is because it needs to shift 100W+ more of heat! I doubt there will be a quieter 970 than this.
Hi! On overclockers it says you only have 9 cards left in stock. Is this true, because if it is, I will need to order one quickly!
Why do people buy reference cards? Is it because they want a smaller cooler to make SLI more viable?
Fantastic news, I look forward to hear comments about whine! (Good to hear that OC guarantee that in case of whine they will replace it!)
firstly this is my first post but needed to as this card is all I hoped it would be and more...received in today and already installed and running.
Fitted in my Node 605 (HTPC/Gaming) and can honestly say this thing is whisper quiet it's running at 32 degree's, unlike my EVGA 570SC it replaces as that thing was warm and loud.
I held of a EVGA 970 ACX 2.0 and i'm honestly glad I did as I was initially worried about heat in the case but ultimately wanted a quiet machine as this is in the lounge and is the media centre hub. However when the missis is out and the lads are over I have the gaming beast..
Also the extra gift of sugary sweets made the unwrapping and installing a bit more fun.....
NICE ONE OCUK...you made this man very happy indeed..
am i mistaken or is the fan weighted and balanced to reduce noise and vibration
