Go with this one. Highest clock speed out the box at virtually no extra cost.

how's that compare to the MSI one? Heard the MSI was the better one. Better cooler, and more quiet?

I don't know how it compares to the MSI but I own it and it is pure awesome for the $209.99 I spent on it.


I'm curious if this link will work for others. EVGA comparison against 2 MSI 960 cards.

I can't even imagine the price tag on that thing.

Or rather I don't want to.

This May is triple paycheck month for me, time to go full retard and buy one.

Anyone ever have 8.1 and displayports go insane and not boot right? For the life of me I cannot get 8.1 to actually load properly with my card connected via x2 displayports, have to boot with dvi connected and manually switch over after it's loaded every time and it's driving me insane.

Could be shitty display port cables, have you switched them out? I had a couple cables that were wonky on me for a long time and I finally switched them out and have no issues now.

Also, I'd recommend completely uninstalling and reinstalling your card's drivers if you haven't tried that yet either.

Whats the expected price on that Asus?

How I feel seeing that review, especially knowing that this would happen after buying the ASUS PG278Q:

Witcher 3 gonna be bundled with gtx 900 cards glad I waited it looks like now will be the time I buy a 970

The Acer estimated pre-order price converted pounds to dollars makes it nearly $1100? I know that's higher than actual retail will end up after launch and not at all concrete, but still, probably going to wait a few years myself

Seriously, just put it in the box and send it back.

Meh. Too lazy. I'll just buy the Acer too and use this one as my chat monitor. I am, however, going to need to get new monitor mounts.

Edit: Side note, just bought one ofthese mouse padsand I fucking love it. For $18 it was a steal in my opinion. It is huge but awesome.
