The card is genuine extremely large, but also makes a very sophisticated look. Nothing is cheap, on the contrary, it is massive and a bit brutal.
I have a normal PC case and the space was it just fit so before the hard drives. Nevertheless, the SATA connector had to be all dismantled to plug this beast. Ultimately, it fits but all very good.
The card requires two power connectors. Once again 6pin 8pin. Pay attention to the line of your power supply. I have a corsair 650 watts and because everything is going well with. Adapter borrowed, Fals you do not have such connections.
Now, to business. The performance.
When you start the computer, driving the fan of the card to 100% until the Welcome font of Windows appears and the drivers are loaded. in my computer I have four additional fans and I hear the fan of the card only slightly. but is just not a silent computer.
Nevertheless, I think am soooo loud as others think the card is not definitely.
Current games like FarCry 4, Battlefield 4 running at maximum with max. AA superfluid. The card will not be warmer than 69 degrees. The fans are unobtrusive to hear, but not disturbing.
Previously I had a GTX 560Ti and as you can tell the difference already enormous.
I can understand the card (the normal 970) thus recommend for people who do not have ultra silent PC or want to get. For the map due to the enormous cooling capacity is too loud.
