    Best 970 brand to buy right now?

    True, the backplate wasn't a deciding factor when I bought it, so I'm not sweatin it, but free is always nice :D especially when they should all come with one at this price point...

    Biggest video card leap?

    Just went from a GTX460 to a GTX970. Massive increase.

    Best 970 brand to buy right now?

    Unfortunately I ordered it from Amazon on Saturday. If I waited until Monday I would have gotten a $15 rebate AND the free backplate if I ordered from Newegg. Oh well I'm still happy with it.

    Best 970 brand to buy right now?

    Just got one of these installed and man is it awesome! No coil whine or anything and runs cool and quiet. Of course I JUST missed the newegg deal w/ the free backplate :mad:

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    Welp, scratch that. Newegg's price went back up to $350 so it is not nearly as enticing now. If I were to return this one then I would end up only making out ahead paying $10 or so instead of $10 for the backplate which isn't worth the time to me. Soooo, on another note, can't wait to get...

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    What are your guys thoughts on the backplates? I have never had one before so I'm pretty clueless if they are actually useful or not. Is it worth returning this one for a free backplate? Amazon has a pretty good return policy so its not much of a hassle but if they don't do a whole lot then I...

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    I agree for the most part, plus I have a prime account so it is almost always better for me to get it from Amazon. However there are a couple things making me lean towards returning this one and ordering from newegg. If I were to return the card and order from newegg it would be about $10...

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    Welp you guys convinced me. Ordered the GTX 970 the other day, should be here tomorrow! Now another quick question. I ordered the EVGA SSC+ 04G-P4-3975-KR, which from my understanding in the 2nd gen and has some revisions from the initial release. Newegg just dropped the price on the EVGA...

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    Yup, that pretty much sums it up. Leaning heavily towards the 970 now. I would consider the 290 if my PSU was a little newer but if it ends up not being up to the task then I'm right back in 970 territory without the free game.

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    Fair enough... So I guess if I'm planning on playing the Witcher 3 then the 970 makes sense... Does anyone know of how long nvidia usually does the bundles for? Preferably I'd like to wait and see what the benches on the 960 look as I don't really play many other graphic intensive games.

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    That is the 970 I was considering if I were to go that route. It's quite frustrating that there is nothing really to fill that $130 gap between the 960 and the 970. Have they said anything about a TI edition lately? I fear if I do go with the 960 that it won't even be able to play the Witcher...

    Time to upgrade, looking for advice

    So the time is finally here where I upgrade my aging gtx 460. I had a code for Assassins creed unity that I finally got around to installing and it made me realized just how insufficient my card has become. So, here is my dilemma. Nvidia has the witcher 3 bundle which I am pretty interested...

    Need higher capacity HDD...raid0 or new single disk

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I'm gonna keep the current drive and add an additional 2TB black drive.

    Need higher capacity HDD...raid0 or new single disk

    Well my thoughts on going raid0 were that most of the games I don't play often will be stored on the drive so maybe I could get a slight performance increase by going raid0. There's nothing really on the drive that I couldn't live without. Someone brought up a good point though and I don't...

    Need higher capacity HDD...raid0 or new single disk

    I guess retire was a poor choice of words. I would continue using it along with the new one.
