Basically my graphics card (AMD Radeon 6870) died just after installing DCS World 2 and I am thinking of upgrading it to a gtx 970. My question is however, what version should I get? I think it will be a large boost in terms of performance compared to my old card no matter what but I want this upgrade to last a while. At the minute, I am considering the ASUS or the Gigabyte version, but I am not sure. I have heard MSI has issues with no backplate, and EVGA has cooling issues and coil whine? I would love some advice please! Thank you!
Here are my specs,
I5 2500k
Intel p67 motherboard
8gb RAM
AMD Radeon 6870
