Buying myself a 970 in a few weeks time,i do have a few questions concerning this as i am taking a serious look into the Maxwell tech and what it has to offer.Keeping this gpu for about 2 years so hoping to be informed
Which card to get with $350?Using Newegg prices here,i won't be doing to much overclocking but perhaps some mild at best.Maybe none at all as my 770 did next to anything.
Some reviews show this uses nearly the same power as my 770,some show much less but the tdp is nearly the same as a 670 so this confuses me.I heard some of the 900 series have issues keeping clocks due to limited tdp?
I ask mostly about power consumption as i may switch my psu with my buddies who has a cx500,i intend to give him my 770 as a gift but i know the cx500 presented me issues on the 770 so i had to get something bigger.This i am not sure about doing yet.My buddy has next to nothing to spend on a psu.
Any other need to know information would be great.Rig has a i3 3770 non k,Antec GX500 case with 6x120mm fans and a single ssd.
