Palit / MSI 970

[Scoiexx]

hello,

In a real head scratcher right now.

What is with the palit version? I see how high the out of the box clocks are but I see more people going for Giga or the MSI version?

Is there some dark secrets i'm not aware of?

At a guess its down to brand familiarity with gigabyte/msi.

^^^^ And maybe Gigabyte having a UK RMA based service also influences some people. I know that it often sways me when buying a motherboard, having used their excellent RMA and repair service.

Also only a 2 year warranty compared to the 3 years with Gigabyte and MSI. Saying that I had a B grade Palit GTX670 Jetstream and it was a cracking card that never let me down all the time I had it.

The MSI ones are very good clockers.

Pair it up with one of the Asus Z87 mobos with the gold highlights for the ultimate pimp rig.

this one looks nice too

it stomps the 290X at 1080p and for much less money................ it's a no brainer

MSI or EVGA 970's i think but waiting to see the price and availability of the reference design, i just love that back plate.

I would go for MSI for brand familiarity, and how great OC it can take. Lots of ppl in forums mention that it clocks very nice but i would think that other brands should be doing the same.
