Manufacturing nowadays is a brain dead process. All manufacturers build products based on same design and same assembly process. Even the quality is about the same.

The only major difference is which one can produce and willing to price theirs cheaper. Another area that may differ is their customer support/service. This one is about whether their service centre staff or cso choose to make your life better or hell if the item breaks.

That is if u put the card in a non-window chassis that u dun get to admire. If u put the card in a windowed or custom-made chassis that u can look into the rig and admire the components once in a while (water-cooling parts, LED-lit parts, etc), aesthetics of the card do matter. :)

Using the 970 Jetstream now, no problems, no coil whine. The card has a higher base clock than the MSI one, but a lower boost clock. Nothing that Afterburner can't fix though.

Thank you all very much for your input. and ESP roy for that indepth anaylsis of my situation.

After careful consideration I decided to opt for Palit instead. It is costs lesser and has better performance, however it is worth noting that the MSI card has a slightly thicker PCB than Palit counterpart. This was a gamble I took on my end, but with 3 years warranty, what's there to worry?

It's been 3 days since my purchase and I can say this card is solid.

For Elite: Dangerous, I went from 30FPS with my old 560 Ti (which is still working after 4 years after purchasing from mynextcom) at medium settings to a fluid 55~60FPS on ultra @ 1080p.

For ArmA 3, I went from 22FPS on low settings to 50~55FPS on Maxed Settings @ 1080p.

The card is extremely silent even during load. My 560Ti used to sound as though a helicopter was just beside me. But this baby runs so quietly that I barely notice it. The avg temperature with full load rests around 73 degrees celsius. I have never seen it rise above 76 degrees. and even at full load, its drop dead silent.

Also worth noting is that this card has a boost frequency of 1304MHz which gives you an extra 1~2 FPS than MSI Gaming 4G. and is priced much more competitively. Seriously a bang for buck for anyone considering a GTX 970.

It also comes with a free Arkham Knight game key as an added bonus! But I really want that MGSV: Phantom Pain instead! http://www.geforce.com/GetMGS

I bought the card from mynextcom. and the Service rendered is excellent as always. Owner is very helpful and friendly. Had a good chat him while I was there. I'll highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking to build their next rig. Because personally, should I need more parts upgraded, I would definitely come back here.

I am very pleased with my purchase and it seems that I've made the right decision going with Palit and mynextcom! :s12:

THANK YOU ALL again for your input, I am now a happy owner of a GTX 970 :D

you made a good choice ... jetstream coolers are the best it is so silent even when you crank the speed all the way up.

anyway you can try your luck in getting a MGS code from palit by emailing them at support@palit.biz .. after all you got a broken game bundled with your card. good luck! :)

i had tested a super jetstream 680 before.. i am very impressed by it. I thought palit was a crappy brand, but when it comes to their cooler, i have only one word to say.. solid.

No unwanted noise, temperatures are low, fan speeds are low, fan noise also low. I would not say the same for powercolour though :s13:

Built quality excellent, although only 2 year warranty =(.

yep.. mailed them .. gave them my 980ti ref number.. 2 days later... free MGSV code. so i got arkham knight and mgs V free.

Anyway, my first choice was MSI but 980ti at $900 during the lazada promo was just too good.

Pros: $240 lesser. Silent as MSI.
Cons: 70-73C load temp vs MSI's 65-67.

load temp affects boost speed but that $240. bought me a Qnix 2710 1440p that runs at 100hz.
