strix is beast

From what I've read, seems like the Gigabyte Gaming 1 970 is the best, followed by the MSI Gaming 4G. The Asus should still be really good though, better than probably most of the other 970 models.

ive heard

so is the Asus Gtx 970 Strix better or the Gigabyte Gtx 970 Gaming G1 better ?

Gigabyte Gaming G1 but almost a $25 difference isn't so worthwhile. If it was within like $10, I'd go with the G1.

Performance wise g1 will be better, but not worth paying that much for. Plus it's louder and doesn't look as sexy, it's also longer.
