Wonderful,

I've spent no less on buying 2 of them for SLi £600 for a pair!!!

I'm very disappointed! I brought my GTX 970 (04G-P4-2974-KR) on Amazon on the 15th and received it on 16th April, one day before the promotion started :( If I knew it was coming I would have waited :'(

Were they purchased within the dates where the free backplates were offered? I didn't get free backplates with my $750 cards and I bought 4 of them. We aren't entitled and the company isn't required to give these out.

You can buy one for $20 on this site or newegg/Amazon.

yes well my £600 is equal to $1100 in your money and yes one of my cards were bought within the dates specified.
I dont expect anything but given how its hashed up and back tracked to cover the us market on the original promotion, 
then I dont think it unreasonable to think itshould of been that any 970 card bought had this offer.
along with the ramgate scandal it would of sweetened the after taste.

So, because your countries money costs more than mine, my more expensive cards don't warrant a backplate? What are you saying? The dates were backtracked... No.

4/15/2015 is when this promotion started. That isn't backdated thatch the original promotion. If you bought from. An authorized retailer, within the assigned dates, then get your backplate.

Like I said before, they lay out the dates and the terms.

Newegg didn't have the backplate offered when I bought my card. All it took was a quick email though and I have one on the way now.
 
How good are these backplates at heat dispersion anyway?

They don't really help with heat dissipation much with a single card, but when it is an SLI setup, it can help reduce the heat transfer from. The bottom card to the top almost like a hest shield on an exhaust for a car.

Ah, yes that makes sense.
 
From what I've read I should still install it for the extra support.

support is the main reason, besides aesthetics, that I use backplates.  I could see my 760's starting to bow from the weight of the power cables pulling the edge of the board down.  I installed the backplate, and everything is level and clean looking now.  Every card I have has a backplate specifically for that reason alone.

my brother has one, it touches no components




I just received mine and thought to correct this statement; there are thermal pads on the plate which touches all memory ICs and some other areas. So it may not be just eye candy. I could not test it as system being dead for few days.

Any way I can get this offer if I buy one or two of the 970 SSC at Best Buy? I got a large gift card to burn.

Guess not? Too bad Best Buy doesn't seem to carry Amazon/Kindle gift cards anymore.
