convergent systems.

Think more or less the same. Both offers zero fan spin on when below 55 degrees and low noise if the fan is spinning at below 55% speed

both use 100mm fans but the heatsink on the MSI is far
superior.

Thank for the info.

using the palit 970 jetstream for the past 6 months, no problem. Switched from a msi 560ti twin frozr. The difference in build quality is massive, twin frozr 2 is built like a tank, card big and heavy, the palit felt flimsy with its plastic outer shell and plastic back extension. The palit 970 has a mini-itx sized pcb with a cooler that extends beyond the pcb, so they use some black plastic to cover the back.

However, I popped the palit into my system and the performance gains were massive. Once u insert it and forget about the plastic, it doesnt make any difference.

As for cooling or vrm, vram... Well palit offers a similiar 3 year warranty as the other brands that offer more extenisve cooling, so means they are equality confident of the longevity of the card. If u want more warranty, consider zotac. Their 970 cost the same as the palit, slightly slower clock, but 5 year warranty.

The only complain i have of the 970 jetstream is the location of the 2 6-pin power connector. They put it at the top, with the clip hidden behind the plastic shell. Nightmare to remove the the connectors.

From 580 SLI, 680 SLI to 980 SLI and 980 TI SLI... No issue so far.

*Used Gigabyte Windforce for 780 TI
