Hi,
as epixoip stated below - he thinks 970 should be preferred over 290x/390x.
ok so far ... but I would like to know "why"?
Is it true for a SINGLE card system, too? or only for multi-GPU (as 970 requires less power/cooling).
Maybe s.o. could post some benchmarks ...? (wpa2, des, md5, shaX would be nice).
thanks.
And now to sth "completely different": I assume that "reference" design cards like ASUS TURBO-GTX970-OC-4GD5 (as far as I know it's not a 'real' reference design) make more noise than e.g. STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5? (I plan to use the system for general purpose and not only for cracking)
