My guess is that it would be as simple as evga asking to buy reference 970 from nvidia... I imagine the reason no other vendor has done it is because they "believe" there cooler would work better while being cheaper for them make, thus making more money for themselves versus the refrence cooler cost. I really doubt that it would be much trouble for evga to get these, just that they will prob cost around $350 to $380 is my guess. and evga wont make much if any of these cards. thus why they dont have them yet. I really hope with monday Jacob will have some news for us regarding this and several other things (backplate, FTW availability)...Im on the frence on what 970 to buy as I sold my 780 earlier last week.

What is wrong with you mate we're asking EVGA to do it. They already told us they would do it if there is enough support so stop saying that. You keep saying that over and over

(Edited out for Personal Attacks) I am all for EVGA using the 980 cooler. that guy was talking about buying the 970 reference from Nvidia when there is NO SUCH THING. you cant buy reference 970 if it does not exist. again get through your head that reference would mean that Nvidia made it in the first place. if EVGA sticks a 980 cooler on one of its card that does not make a 970 reference card. it makes it a 970 with the 980 cooler.

PC builder have there Nvidia Cooler GTX 970 like OriginPC and DigitalStorm and others have that as option in the configuration ,So there is Nvidia GTX 970 reference just not for the company how make them with custom cooler like what they did with GTX 770 and EVGA was able to make a GTX 770 with that cooler also i know that GTX 970 has much different PCB design (not just shorter ) so it would be difficult to make but they can thats all we need :)

my god there is NO reference gtx970 PERIOD. Nvidia does NOT make a reference 970. for it to be reference Nvidia would have to have made it as that is what reference means. ALL 970 cards are custom and totally up to the card maker. with the gtx770 there was actually a reference design but it was not available in the US. EVGA did later add the reference 770 cooler. again this is NOT the same as the 970 situation as there are NO 970 reference cards made by Nvidia PERIOD. the cards on the OriginPC and DigitalStorm sites may be nothing more than a pic just like you see on the Nvidia site. if they have that cooler then they probably have some type of OEM deal.

(Edited out because of Personal Attacks) As far as the GTX 970 reference, the only place I know of that will have them in maybe a few months or so is best buy. Because they are who nVidia sells directly out of and just like the 770 reference, I'm sure they'll get the 970 too.

Trek I think you need to settle down alittle LOl all of you posts seem so aggressive...Just relax man its just computer parts. Anyhoo, my take is If reviewers had sample 970s with reference blowers and if that strange company in china had 970s and if Bestbuy eventually gets them and if other custom pc builders are offering them then Nvidia has reference 970s. The reason we dont see them is that at the time of launch they werent selling them. Things could change. Like I said from what I understand its just a matter of Evga getting nvidia on board to start making more 970s with reference blowers. If that means and "OEM" deal or whatever so be it. Of course I could be wrong. I hope Jacob and comment on this soon.

sigh we have already been through this over and over. there is NO 970 reference card period.
Even though I have already provided links and screenshots etc proving there is a reference designed cooler for the GTX 970 (the cooler we seek), here is a final cap on the "debate"... a chat with an NVIDIA rep confirming what I and others have been saying. It is also good news, as the reference cooler is indeed available to EVGA from NVIDIA, we just need to get enough momentum to have EVGA see if their design can be altered to work with the snazzy reference cooler we seek.

Okay i got what saying mate , its true and thats what i meant by the PC builder have it Nvidia maybe made OEM parts to those but the cost would be much higher for brands like EVGA and others to get that Design cooler and with only 330$ so they make a decision that they sell the GPU not the whole PCB and of course for the sake of marketing EVGA and all others gone with there custom cooler to lower the cost and be able to sell it at 330$ and ofcourse there is some other high-end features in other parts thats sells more than 370$ My point is we just need EVGA to ask if Nvidia can provide it with that design "GTX 980 Cooler" for us with that extra charge like other PC builder I am sorry to for misunderstanding u in the first place

That is what made me finally contact NVIDIA directly. At first look it seemed to confirm the reference cooler design as shown on nvidia dot com, but upon more examination something seemed fishy. While they note using a reference GTX 970 in that article, some of the pics in that article are straight from the GTX 980 review. So considering the debate that had been continuing here I decided to just contact NVIDIA directly. Now I have documented links, screenshots, and actual NVIDIA rep confirmation the cooler we seek is the actual reference design. Perhaps not available at launch in quantity or perhaps too expensive, I have no idea why no one used it. EVGA has always been responsive to demand and perhaps down the road can pull something together.

lol that basically backs up what I said. you cant even buy it because it does not exist for consumers. all they did was take the 980 card and put 970 on the cooler and they have left that up to partners to design whatever card they want. NO partner actually makes the card available for purchase but of course there will be some in house oem companies that will eventually make use of it. all it takes is a bit of common sense to know that if these cards actually existed for purchase that EVGA would have some since they are Nvidia's largest partner. instead all we have is EVGA saying they might use the cooler down the road. that simply means they are going to slap the cooler on whatever pcb they see fit. they will NOT be getting some reference 970 card sent to them to sell like in the case of the 980.

no problem... at least we know the GTX 970 reference cooler we seek is out there and available. Now I just wait and see if it appears on a EVGA GTX 970 down the road.

sigh we have already been through this over and over. there is NO 970 reference card period.
Even though I have already provided links and screenshots etc proving there is a reference designed cooler for the GTX 970 (the cooler we seek), here is a final cap on the "debate"... a chat with an NVIDIA rep confirming what I and others have been saying. It is also good news, as the reference cooler is indeed available to EVGA from NVIDIA, we just need to get enough momentum to have EVGA see if their design can be altered to work with the snazzy reference cooler we seek.
That confirms it then, the 970 reference titan looking style blower cooler does exist. Someone could change their story as much as they want, but that doesn't change that fact that they were wrong. I'm sure if bestbuy sells the 970 for nvidia, it will be with that cooler. Just like how you could buy the default 770 titan style blower cooler in the US straight from the bestbuy website, and why my local bestbuy store has had those for over a year now with the skuId=1826004.

lol show me where to get this reference 970 that you think exists? oh that's right NO ONE makes it available. even EVGA themselves has no access to such a card and have only discussed getting the cooler to put on their own pcb. (Deleted for Personal Attacks) based on the comments in this thread the first Titan looking blower you see, you call it a reference card no matter whats actually under the cooler. you know since Nvidia does not make a reference 970 available at all.

My guess is that it would be as simple as evga asking to buy reference 970 from nvidia... I imagine the reason no other vendor has done it is because they "believe" there cooler would work better while being cheaper for them make, thus making more money for themselves versus the refrence cooler cost. I really doubt that it would be much trouble for evga to get these, just that they will prob cost around $350 to $380 is my guess. and evga wont make much if any of these cards. thus why they dont have them yet. I really hope with monday Jacob will have some news for us regarding this and several other things (backplate, FTW availability)...Im on the frence on what 970 to buy as I sold my 780 earlier last week.
sigh we have already been through this over and over. there is NO 970 reference card period.
What is wrong with you mate we're asking EVGA to do it. They already told us they would do it if there is enough support so stop saying that. You keep saying that over and over
(Edited out for Personal Attacks) I am all for EVGA using the 980 cooler. that guy was talking about buying the 970 reference from Nvidia when there is NO SUCH THING. you cant buy reference 970 if it does not exist. again get through your head that reference would mean that Nvidia made it in the first place. if EVGA sticks a 980 cooler on one of its card that does not make a 970 reference card. it makes it a 970 with the 980 cooler.
PC builder have there Nvidia Cooler GTX 970 like OriginPC and DigitalStorm and others have that as option in the configuration ,So there is Nvidia GTX 970 reference just not for the company how make them with custom cooler like what they did with GTX 770 and EVGA was able to make a GTX 770 with that cooler also i know that GTX 970 has much different PCB design (not just shorter ) so it would be difficult to make but they can thats all we need :)
my god there is NO reference gtx970 PERIOD. Nvidia does NOT make a reference 970. for it to be reference Nvidia would have to have made it as that is what reference means. ALL 970 cards are custom and totally up to the card maker. with the gtx770 there was actually a reference design but it was not available in the US. EVGA did later add the reference 770 cooler. again this is NOT the same as the 970 situation as there are NO 970 reference cards made by Nvidia PERIOD.
the cards on the OriginPC and DigitalStorm sites may be nothing more than a pic just like you see on the Nvidia site. if they have that cooler then they probably have some type of OEM deal.
OEM deal? Like from nvidia? :P

yes maybe they will work with some OEM company to make it available at least in some form. does that mean there was actually a reference 970 card though? no. probably just any pcb any then throw the cooler on there and you guys will call it a reference card. there never was an actual 970 reference card built for consumers at all and reviewers already made that clear. I will leave now as its clear most of you simply lack any understanding of what reference actually means.

I'll take what the actual nvidia rep says about that the reference 970 cooler exists, instead of listening to someone who sits on this forum just for the sake of making argumentative replies. It might not be for sale yet, but according to what they said in that picture that was posted, it does exist. Now since that's cleared up, we could continue with a more productive discussion. Like who will be the first to sell the 970 with the titan style blower?
