GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X OC EDITION, GV-N970WF3OC-4GD
  • Virtual Reality Ready
  • DirectX12 Ready
  • Gamestream to NVIDIA SHIELD
  • Boost: 1278 MHz / Base: 1149 MHz in OC Mode
  • Boost: 1253 MHz / Base: 1114 MHz in Gaming Mode
  • Dual-link DVI-I / Dual-link DVI-D / HDMI / Display Port x 3
  • WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System

Pros:

Like the cooling setup.
It's keeping the GPU temps at 60 degrees max with GPU load at 99 percent and playing everything okay so far.

Cons:

I cannot get it to boot or send a video signal to the monitor with PCI-e GEN3 enabled in the motherboard BIOS.
The previous PNY GTX-670 ran that setting fine with the PCI-e timing hack to enable 3.0..

Overall Review:

Hopefully, Gigabyte has a fix to enable PCI-e 3.0 on my X79 motherboard.
I gained quite a bit of performance with that hack.
