I received my new graphics card yesterday, installed it, and was able to do some quick testing. I'm very pleased so far. I replaced a ATI HD 6950 2GB with a GTX 970 4GB. I had a quick look at some of the games I play and noticed better fps in all of them but most significant were Arma3 and Dayz. In both of these I can now turn the video settings all the way up and still get 45-60 fps. My Heaven Benchmark (on Extreme) went from 11.2fps to 52.3fps! All of this comes with the added bonus of lower power consumption, quieter operation, and cooler temps.

Looks good McGuirk. Makes me want to throw my 670 in the bin! You must be able to crank up FSX a bit!
