Expert reviews

-

MSI should also be given credit for equipping this graphics card with high-quality components and the advanced Twin Frozr V cooler which is very efficient and has an extremely low level of noise. We could never achieve such overclocking results with top-end graphics cards using just basic air cooling.

94

MSI's GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Gaming OC offers some truly amazing performance and features at a price point that is just much lower than expected. Both NVIDIA and MSI deserve a huge pat on the back as this thing is just a beast. Just awesome!

95

The MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G is a looker. They say beauty is only skin deep, but this overclocked GTX970 has bags of performance and massive potential for overclocking well past the ‘out of box speeds’.
