I WENT WITH THE 970 VS 950 AND WAS BLOWN AWAY AGAIN HAHA. I upgraded to 16GB ram and don't think it is bottlenecking at all I looked up other posts with my specs and no one said it was. I bought Witcher 3, and am playing it on ultra settings with perfect fps, it works so amazing! However it was $410 at best buy so I kind of want to return it and order one off of amazon for $70 less (love to save money ;)) but was curious what brand you thought was the best evga,gigabyte,msi etc, personally i've been using EVGA but I didn't know if one was better than the other as far as the ones on amazon. or specs.
