There is no polite way to put this other than to say that this rather frugally priced video card is one fan-fragging-tastic performer. Yes it is a stock 970, yes its blower cooler can get loud, but who cares when for basically for a little over 3 bills you can get a card that beats a stock GTX 780 harder and faster than what Frank Shamrock did to Igor Zinoviev! Seriously this card brings new meaning to the term value and while it is certainly not without a few flaws its price to performance ratio is simply off the charts.
