** TRULY INSALE DEALS ON GTX 780Ti & GTX 770!! **

Reference card designs? Meh, I'm not interested, even if the 780ti is better than a 970 (plus I can't start a new build till June). Speaking of the devil, the today only deals on the front page are the best 2 970s you can get. I'm shocked that there hasn't been a thread made about these deals yet, the MSI one is especially good, since that MSI 970 is the best 970 IMHO. So the Gigabyte 970 is put to shame, especially as the MSI card is a lower price and the savings are more (£30).

It's affected a variety of cards. Some people get lucky and have no problems. I'm a bit put off, since I was planning on getting one for my summer build. But I've read it gets worse with higher FPS and that over-volting may help reduce it. V-sync helps since 60FPS doesn't usually pose an issue, I guess the simple solution is to not be one of those people running older games at ridiculously high FPS. That and be a bit lucky ;)

The OP should have been updated with this major bargain, I just recommended it to my younger brother. Possibly the best value for money this side of the £200 mark? Though I haven't been paying much attention down here, I'm looking at the range containing the GTX 970 for myself.

I'd say so yea, although a 960 is similar price and performance, plus come in a 4gb version.

I already have a 770 hence its tempting to SLI, but 2gb Vram isn't very future proof considering how much games like GTA V and Shadow of Mordor demand even at 1080p.

Still tempted, but I am likely to wait for whatever the next gen cards are to upgrade, I can still near enough max out most games.

630W Be quiet! Pure Power L8

Yea, but there is no point SLI'ing a 4gb 770 with a 2gb one (not sure that it would even work), and for the £200 of the 4gb 770 you may as well get the 4gb Asus/MSI/Gigabyte 960.

IIRC you will have to disable 2gb of ram on the 4gb card for it to be capable of SLIing with the other 2gb card. I don't think it will be "smart" and dial down to 2gb to match the other card.
