Well, I just bought the fiance' an MSI 100ME GTX 970 to replace her 660Ti. I have to say, the card is very impressive! It has a backplate too, which makes me wonder how in the world any can get sold without one. Even with a backplate, I can see the PCB WANTS to bend. It has to be downright painful to watch without one.
I did a number of unofficial benchmarks to compare mine and my fiance's system's. While not exact, they are fairly similar systems, so a GENERAL idea can be obtained by comparing benchmarks. I ran Heaven, Valley, Bioshock, and Sleeping Dogs. In all of them, the 970 ran anywhere from 2-10 fps slower than my 780. However, that's close enough to be negligible, and differences such as DRAM speed, and cpu speed, which are higher in my rig, could easily account for it. And at no time did the temperature climb higher than 57 celcius! Color me impressed!
