The next generation of nVidia GPUs is upon us, and we're starting our coverage with the MSI GTX970 Gaming, equipped with the Twin Frozr V cooler.

Bloody impressive stuff Guv, Maxwell seems to have been worth the wait, the OC results have staggered me.. I really can't wait now to see what the GTX 980 Ti is capable of.
The GPU core used in the GTX 980 is the full core, so do not expect a 980Ti (at least with any extra CUDA cores).
I see a Titan 2 in 2015, but that's just a hunch. I guess we will see.
Love the look of this card. Cooler looks tall though. Will this fit in a corsair 240 air case. Got one coming at the end of the month so don't have it to measure myself yet :-(
My plan is to go for the 240 Air with the MSi Z97M Gaming and MSi GPU.
If it turns out it doesn’t fit I will go down the route of getting the reference 970 then maybe water cooling it.
Great review Tom, thank you for your hard work, and this is again a wonderful piece of hardware !
I was planning to go for a matrix 780 Ti and to give my 280x to my wife, but now I'm lost xD. Should I go for a 970 (or two) or perhaps a 980? To be honest I'm really tempted with the pricetag of the 970, I could buy two of these instead of the matrix, or buy one and a good screen for my wife... Hell... Any thoughts to help me please mates ?

Maxwell. Yep here is your crown. I was hedging my money on this gen to follow suit of what we saw with the 750ti. Well done nVidia. For peeps like us here in Australia where electricity prices are going bonkers these power efficient, high performance cards are a godsend.
My 760's will be finding a new home soon to make way for a 980 or 2x 970's.
Will be interested to see what AMD does. I hope they can pull a rabbit out of their hat.
