This is my first EVGA card having always bought Asus as a rule and I love it.I chose this version as reading reviews it featured a number of refinements over earlier versions.It comes extremely well presented and in the box you get a few little goodies such as metal case badge, sli bridge and some molex adaptors.In hand the card feels very solid and robust. The plastic shroud feels top quality and it has a good weight to it.Installation was straight forward and I was up and running in no time.Now the refinements. It features a dual bios. One for cool and quiet where the fans turn off under 60c and a slightly more aggresive fan profile. I love that the fans turn off. It means when coding etc it is really quiet. That said the fans aren't noisey when gaming. Everything about this card is geared around cooling form the direct copper plate on the gpu to cooling of the memory chips and it pays off.EVGA customer service is good too. The warranty is renowned and I paid a small fee to boost my warranty to five years. It's also transferrable if you sell the card in future.I like that it has no led's etc and the card is a bit unassuming but I love understated power.The card is overclocked out the box and has a lot to give because of the awesome cooling involved. Handles BF4/SC2 at 1440p brilliantly and makes my pc ready for the occulus rift next year.

EVGA nailed it!!
Awesome card! EVGA has fixed all the mistakes they made with the early versions of the 970 with this card. Up to the posting of this there are only two EVGA cards with all the issues fixed that is the SSC and the FTW+As you can see by the pictures, the SSC and FTW+ have the large copper base plate that contacts the full area of the gpu die and 3 straight copper pipes making the cooler much more efficient than the other versions of this card. The other picture is of the other versions of the card and you can see that only 2 of the 3 heat pipes make contact with the gpu die.All in all the only difference i see from the SSC to the FTW+ is the FTW+ comes with a back plate, however i bought 1 from Ebay for £20 although it is personal preference whether you need 1 or not.Full list of improvements:dBi - dB Noise Inverter turns fans off below 60C, generating 0dB of noise during idle!QSD BIOS - Quick Switch Dual BIOS allow you to switch to secondary BIOS with the flick of a switch.MMCP - Memory MOSFET Cooling Plate reduces MOSFET temps by 47% and Memory by 14%.OPT - Optimized Power Target offers 33% more power over reference.SHP - Straight Heat Pipes reduce GPU temperature by almost 5C!As for the complaint about only having 3.5gb of 'useable' ram. this is true for every brand of the gtx970 and the fault is Nvidea's and not any of the companies selling them.

Fantastic upgrade
The first Nvidia card I've bought in a long time after being burned (literally, the last one caught fire) many years ago. As soon as I opened the box I knew I'd bought a quality product. It just has that reassuring 'feel' that you've bought something of quality.My PSU didn't have both of the necessary power connectors needed to run this card, but thankfully it came with a couple of Molex adaptors so I was able to jury-rig the second power connector using them.I've not pushed the card yet, mainly because I have very few games that would really stretch its capabilities. But it's been happily running a bunch of older games (circa 2010) at maxxed-out settings without even needing to turn the fans on. It's early days, but so far this seems to be a beautifully-engineered piece of kit that delivers everything it claims.

Amazing! (except delivery)
The performance of this card is amazing! I'm a big EVGA fan and they have done it all right again with this card!The fans can get really noisy if they get above 60% but the cooling is so good that they rarely need to go that fast. Plus you can set the fan curves yourself in the Precision X tool that is free to download. This also provides a tool for over-clocking the card if you want to go down that road.Was VERY disappointed with delivery. Would have been 5 star otherwise. I was waiting in my house the entire day as I got next day delivery. But it never came. Then when i looked at the amazon app on my phone it said that delivery 'failed' and they would try again tomorrow. Very disappointing amazon.Other than the delivery the card itself is perfect for what i wanted. Probably not the best value for money card out there but the performance is brilliant. I am able to run GTA V on almost high settings at a constant 45fps! (my CPU and motherboard are a bit outdated now so this is causing a bottleneck- card is at around 40% usage and my cpu is 100%)Would recommend to anyone who cant quite afford the 10 series but wants a high performing GC!

A great version of the GTX 970
Originally ordered the GTX 970 SC, but when I saw EVGA released this version with improved ACX 2.0+ cooling, I sent the SC back and got this one instead. A bit confusing that EVGA have so many slightly different versions of their cards!I was a bit shocked to find it is about 2cm longer than the original SC card, but luckily I had enough room for it, and the SSC does run cooler when gaming. The SSC card also has dual-bios, and you can switch from one bios to the other with a flick of a switch on the card. I am not interested in overclocking, so this feature is not of much interest to me. The improved 6-phase power delivery system on the SSC does make a difference, as with the SC card I was getting some interference through my PC speakers when playing games, hard to describe but almost like you could hear when the card was working hard, but with the SSC I have not noticed thisEVGA are currently offering a free upgrade from the 3-year warranty to five years when you register a card with them, and they have a great reputation for support. Any GTX 970 will give you great results with all current games, so when choosing which one to buy the support and warranty offered should be an important consideration. Highly recommended.
