Thanks, the Strix arrived before the payment even finished, within a couple days of the order. Installed and happy to report no perceivable coil whine. Card runs cool and quiet and I'm happy with it. Have not done any overclocking yet as been playing Fallout 4 but plan to this weekend.

I snagged a gtx 970 asus strix off jet for 245 and it's performing very well in fallout 4.

Let me tell you guys what Jet did for me because it's pretty impressive. A couple weeks ago I used my first purchase like many probably did to get a new graphics card. Ordered the Zotac 970 for ~$245 shipped. The card screamed like a bandit with coil whine, some I could deal with but I heard...

I returned mine to jet.com and awaiting refund. The build quality seemed good but man this thing buzzed like crazy under load. I can take some coil whine but I could hear this from across the room. Bummed as I was looking forward to using it for fallout 4, oh well. Threw my 660 ti back in which...

Haha i just skimmed the page at first, went back and read everything and it was hilarious.

I would not trust ANY knockoff brand cards, especially the ones from china. A 30 second google search will turn up videos and stories of people purchasing such cards and receiving gpu's that go back 5-10 years. Also some dead giveaways here. No visible heatpipes and the cooler looks cheap and...

I used Kinguin once and the key ended up being banned by Ubisoft for being illegal. I had the kinguin guarantee service and all they offered were other keys, never a refund. I would never trust such a website ever again.

I snagged the Zotac 970 from Jet for $245 with the coupon, coming from a 660 ti, hopefully a nice boost. Thanks for the heads up.

All depends on how much Microsoft and Sony paid the respective retailers for floor space and where and how they are merchandised. Microsoft probably paid walmart more for better retail space and fixtures. Similar to how coke and pepsi pay grocery stores to take up an entire aisle. Beyond the...

Quick question if anyone can answer. I'm going to be getting this for my sister for a xmas present, she's into mario and has the wiiu. She likes to play with a friend of hers though locally, she only has one wiiu remote. Does this game play well with only one wiiu remote and the other regular...

I can understand why the hesitation. I got BL2 for free with a nvidia card and while it was fun for alittle while, I grew sick of it quickly. To me it was more of the same from BL 1. I picked up Farcry 3 on a whim for 30 bucks after reading good things but was still skeptical. I ended up playing...

Such a great series.

Eh, I might snag one if cheap enough, I've been on the fence for the 3ds already.

Glad i'm ditching ms this time around, not a fan of the direction they are taking.

Many games take money during beta, it's stupid but that seems to be the new business model. As far as I know it's still considered "beta".
