General / Off-Topic calling NVidia 970 user's

[Kingston@#]

hi I'm looking to upgrade my gpu's I have a couple of question's.
my system is currently liquid cooled using 2 arctic hybrids, any of you know if they will fit on the 970?
is it worth getting 2?
what's the performance like?
any recommended cards/manufacturer
or I could get a 980 single! getting system ready for VR
thanks

Both single 970 and 980 are not enough for VR. Take one 970 and you swap it for nexten ready for VR in two years.
Single 970 will be enough for 2,5K resolution in first generation of VR helmets. I have 970 and i am plaing at 2,5k now.

Wait for the second half of 2016. The GPU "Pascal" of Nvidia will bury the 9xx series

Wise decision. In fact the specialized press advises to wait. If there is no emergency of course. A revolution is coming. Good for the future expansions of ED
