I don't know which review you read, but the on one [H] clearly states this 970 is a noticeable improvement in gaming performance over the 780. Not an overwhelming improvement, but a noticeable one. As far as temps, get to know the Corsair 250D ITX case. The Twin Frozr fans will blow heated air directly out the side grate. That's a plus in my book.If the 780 was oced its little to no upgrade at all. In fact depending on the speeds, the 780 could be faster in some games. And if you look at the 970 Gaming review here on hardocp it uses more power than the reference 780 if thats is what you had. So if your 780 was reference then the 970 Gaming will actually makes temps higher in your little case.
