KFA2 Announces the GeForce GTX 970 EXOC Sniper Edition Graphics Card
KFA2, Galaxy's EU wing, announced the GeForce GTX 970 EXOC Sniper Edition graphics card. EXOC is KFA2 equivalent for Galaxy's "Hall of Fame" edition moniker, denoting the company's highest factory-overclock tier. The card features a custom-design 27 cm long PCB, with a 2-slot thick air cooler that makes use of a dense aluminum fin-stack, to which heat drawn directly from the GPU die is fed by 8 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes; ventilated by a pair of 90 mm spinners that stay off when idling.
The GTX 970 EXOC Sniper Edition comes with factory-overclocked speeds of 1178 MHz core, with 1329 MHz max GPU Boost frequency, and an untouched 7012 MHz (GDDR5-effective) memory, against reference speeds of 1050 MHz core and 1178 MHz GPU Boost. KFA2 plans to sell the card at 349€ (including all taxes), when it hits the shelves later this month.

KFA2 makes nice coolers, sober cards....
So this is next up to gtx970 EXOC black edition(with 14MHz higher clocks, what a OC). I think AIB:s are a bit bored and are just trying to get rid of old gpus before next generation.
Metal shrouds always a plus and looks like it has a back plate too.
The vast majority of MSI 900 series, which are the 960 2GB, the 970, and all the 980's have no backplate.
