So i was looking on amazon for a graphics card and I stumbled upon the GTX 970. There are like 9 different versions of it and I don't know what the heck they mean.
 
EVGA offers three different coolers and three different overclock levels, and you're right, there are an incredible nine models listed at Amazon!

Here's how it breaks down:
(1) standard 9.5" blower model at reference and moderate "Superclocked" levels (not really a true Superclocked model)
(2) open air 9.5" ACX 2.0 models at reference, high "Superclocked", SSC, and FTW levels. Superclocked has a 140MHz overclock, SSC has 160MHz or so, and FTW has nearly a 200MHz factory overclock. These are boost levels, which are what count.
(3) open air 10.1" ACX 2.0+ models at SSC and FTW levels, with much better coolers and power delivery than the ACX 2.0 models. Note that the 2.0+ models require a 6-pin and 6+2-pin power connector.

Unless the 10.1" model won't fit in your case or you're on a strict budget, it's the one to get. It costs a little more for the same clockspeed, but it's worth it.
