This question is directed to those who already owns a GTX 970, specifically ACX 2.0 SC, SSC, or FTW.

I am wondering if the logos on the top of the card glow like it did in the ACX 2.0 promo video?

    Thanks for clearing this up Jacob. I have another question regarding the 970. Why does the FTW version have a different cooling design (fins and tubes) than the SSC? Both versions run at very similar clocks and it seems both allow a 1.215v+ Voltage Boost, according to the specs sheet. I don't see why one of them would have better cooling than the other taking into account that the FTW only costs 10 dollars more. I ordered the SSC from newegg since the FTW isn't available yet, but I might consider returning it if the FTW version does indeed have better cooling and temperatures.

    Yep Jacob, please clarify this too. Thanks very much for your support! :D

    Also, will the SSC glow yellow by the look of it?

    Oops! Sorry my post above was mistype, it should have said 970 does NOT. Only the 980 ACX2.0 has LED on the side.

    FTW cooler is a bit better, helps to lower by a few more degrees.

    Hmm that's quite a bummer. Do you know when will the FTW version be available (newegg)? I might return the SSC and get the FTW instead. Whats your opinion on this? Do you think its a better option?
