After I have for some time been looking for a replacement for my very elderly but HD 5870, of course I have occupied myself with the GTX 970. That's gworden the Strix by Asus, has the reason that they are quiet, cool, energy efficient and still should be very fast. So I ordered from Amazon and a day later she was there. Well what can I say. I can confirm everything. The card is really great. I'm not the benchmark friend, I collect the impressions rather daily PC use. Outside of graphics-intensive applications are silent fan. The card then moves 38-43 degrees. When you start a game, the fans begin to operate from approximately 65 degrees. In watchdogs with maximum settings they run at about 35 percent. The map 63-67 degrees is warm and you hear nothing. For me the way no Spulenfiepen. The total package convinces everybody that price performance is unbeatable.
