OcUK GTX 970

Hi,

Please bare with me as this is my first post, Right lets get straight to the point. I am extremely happy with both of my cards i have purchased from yourselves but with all the fuss being made online about the mistakes Nvidia have made have left me concerned. I really do not wish to return my items to you as they are performing extremely well, a little hotter than other people have said there cards run but great none the less.

My concern with this is 12 months down the line and games are advancing and requiring more vram will i be gambling by keeping them and only getting say 12 months serious use for the £638 i paid? That to me is a bad investment.

I am really stuck with what to do because like i said im not seeing any problems now but thats not to say its not going to happen.

Any comments or advice to put my mined at ease would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running them at 1080p atm, but was looking to 4k eventually.

Thank you for your response gibbo, I know you had a lot to do with the design to eliminate coil whine, whats your overall view on the matter and do you think this could be a potential problem for us 970 owners in 12 months time?

For the record I won't be going over to AMD sadly, I spent a lot of money getting away from them builds just sad I sold my Evga 770 sc to buy the 970's and feel a little let down.

Thank you for your responses, I see Dyonisis cards run at around 60'C in Sli but mine run at 80'C in Sli, I use Evga Precision to monitor my cards and target temp is 80, should I lower that too see better temps?

Apologise for noobish comments but this build has been my first one in 10 years because I started gaming on consoles.
