In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the GTX 970 and the GTX 970 are equal.

The GTX 970 and the GTX 970 have both the same core clock speed and the same Texture Fill Rate. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX 970 and the GTX 970 have both the same core clock speed and the same Pixel Fill Rate. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

Both the GeForce GTX 970 Point of View 4GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 970 Palit 4GB Edition were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.

Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.

The GeForce GTX 970 Point of View 4GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 970 Palit 4GB Edition have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The memory bandwidth of the GeForce GTX 970 Point of View 4GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 970 Palit 4GB Edition are the same, which means the GTX 970 and the GTX 970 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

Both the GeForce GTX 970 Point of View 4GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 970 Palit 4GB Edition have 1664 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the two GPUs have extremely similar stats, so any gaming performance difference would most likely be negligible.

The GeForce GTX 970 Point of View 4GB Edition requires 148 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 970 Palit 4GB Edition requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 970 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 970. The GTX 970 requires 2 Watts more than the GTX 970 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 970 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GTX 970.
