Hi all,
I'm looking forward to buy a GTX 970 card. Problem is I cannot decide which one. Here are some things to consider:
- Not for heavy gaming, at least not for 2560 and beyond. I'm still using the good old 1920x1080.
- Games including but not limited to: heavily modded Skyrim, Dragon Age series including Inquisition, The Witcher series and possibly other third-person or RPG games. Playing racing games for hobby and fun and FPS occasionally but not often due to motion sickness.
- Doing heavy rendering with V-Ray.
- Doing photography and dealing with large resolution images regularly.
- Heat/temp is important. Not using a LCS.
- Power consumption is important. PSU is not a problem, but the less the gpu consumes power the better.
- Backplate. Had a nasty experience involving exposed back side of PCB and a screwdriver. Just for protection, not anything else.
If any of you have suggestion about anything (brand, model, etc) please feel free to tell me. I need to hear from the GTX 970 users, if any, but everyone can contribute. Please share your experience(s) using a GTX 970. Thanks for everything.
