Im thinking about getting this .... http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-evga-gtx-970-superclocked-acx-20-pcie-30-7010mhz-gddr5-gpu-1165mh...
anyone got one ?

[#2]

EVGA are a good make  you should be fine with it m8

[#3]

I think that's exactly the card I've got. Happy with it, had no issues with it.

[#4]

I'll swear by EVGA any day, used to be a big MSI advocate but after a horrible RMA I switched to EVGA for anything graphics, plus they look great

[#5]

chris does it require 2 6 pins ? i see two sockets on it

[#6]

Yes, I believe it does.

[#7]

good stuff

[#8]

Ste , get a 980   i got the ASUS  its wicked

[#9]

thats an extra 200 quid
im now thinking about getting this one http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-evga-gtx-970-ftwplus-with-acx-20plus-pcie-30-(x16)-7010mhz-gddr5-...
Comes with backing plate which protects it and its supposed to be cooler, also the evga uses less power and give better perfomance from what im reading.

[#10]

The 980 has dropped in price since i bought it    £80 cheaper now

I suggest getting the SSC model, the first set of evga 970 cards had some issues, will link to it for you.

The SSC has a better voltage regulator, better cooling and better port layout. Than the SC.
oh and the ftw+ you linked to thats a good choice also, that also has the above improvements. (not the plain ftw without the +)

I ordered the EVGA NVIDIA GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 and got Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege FREE

[#13]

chris did u notice any issues with the ram ? i read that it only offers 3.5 gig .... may have to send it back and get a different one.

[#14]

it has 4 gig but its segmented.  Basically if you playing a game that requires more than 3.5 gig of vram you can expect stuttering.
I would cancel the order and swap for the SSC, the price is very similar but the improvements are significant.
You havent said what resolution you be playing at, but if its 1080p then the 3.5gig wont be an issue.

[#15]

1080 for now, i might e-mail nvidia maybe they send me nice new 980
