Seems like Asus is on the roll. After announcing the GTX 980 20th Anniversary Gold Edition yesterday; the company’s back with another GPU that is dubbed as Asus GTX 970 Turbo. The GPU comes with a design that is quite close to the reference design and the entire shroud is white along with accents of red. As for the cooling; the card is using the blower type cooling design, the PCB itself look short.
Asus went ahead and teased an odd looking GTX 970 yesterday dubbed as GTX 970 Turbo. The information we had at the time of the news was scarce. We were just presented a photo showing that the new GTX 970 will be having a white and red shroud along with a blower style cooler. Apparently, we have more information today and to our surprise, the GPU is just like any other GTX 970 available in market. The only difference we see here are the aesthetics.
It actually looks pretty nice imo. I got myself a Gigabyte 970 G1 back in feb (from my old 580 pictures with it below) and have never been happier with a purchase. http://i.imgur.com/pBuOd5g....
The more models available the better, competition is generally always healthy for the consumer. Good to see :)

We’re an insatiable lot, us PC gamers. Nvidia gives us the fastest GPU that’s ever been produced and what’s my response? 'What happens if I strap two together?'

"Got some spare cash burning a sizable hole in your pocket? That's lucky, because Nvidia's latest supercomputer graphics card has just arrived. This time, it's got an X tacked onto to the end. You know. For extreme."
Sounds great but I still want to wait it out for more options to become available for 4k60fps. Still arent that many monitors with 4k, 120+ fps, G sync and an IPS screen and games are just starting to offer support for it. Maybe next year things will change with Intel's Skylake, DX 12 and more new tech on its way.
For the price just buy a AR-15 or Ak 47 & a nice aimpoint or eotech for the same price. Or buy you a acog for the price cant spend this much on games when i wont use the power. My dual r9 280x cards arent being pushed right now, no reason for it but to show off lol.
Wow the green Team going White and Red
Interesting that they've just gone with a reference design.
I went with an Asus 980 Strix, and that thing is ridiculously good. Fans don't even turn on until it hits 67degrees C. And it overclocks very nicely. I would definitely have bought a white / red edition if they offered it. :)
"Seems like Asus is on the roll."
"There are no details yet"
I mean, it's another blower-cooled 970 variant with no information on how it's clocked or whether it has anything exciting/different under the hood. Why bother making an article before there's some actual information on how the specs of this thing differ from other 970s?
That casing looks sexy! Matches my NZXT phantom case perfectly! My whole PC is white red except my black and gold gigabyte MOBO and my black and gold enermax 1200W PSU.
I always doubt Nvidia will do anything good :)
