GTX 970 From Zotac Leaked - Features Dual Fans And Metallic Shroud

The card features a dual fan design with a sleek looking silvery metal shroud that covers the heatsink assembly. The card appears to be quite meaty but featuring a fairly thick heatsink. Peradventure showing more evidence of the efficiency of Nvidia's upcoming GM204 GPU.
The box confirms the previously leaked 4GB frame buffer and likewise previous reports of Nvidia skipping the 800 series naming scheme and going straight to the 900 series.

Reported specs for the GTX 970 are 1664 CUDA cores with 4GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 7Ghz effective operating across a 256bit buss. Rumored TDP and toll are 150W and $399 respectively. The GTX 970 is supposed to become caput to head with the R9 290 and the GTX 780 in terms of operation but offer amend power efficiency and an updated set of features. The GTX 980 is supposed to outperform and replace the GTX 780 TI as the fastest single GPU card from Nvidia and also introduce enhanced efficiency and an updated feature set.

The e-tailer also mentions pricing, stating that the GTX 970 would toll 19-22K Philippine Pesos which amount to 430 to 500 The states Dollars and the GTX 980 would cost 31-34K which amounts to 700 to 770 US Dollars. These are quite higher than the previously rumored $499 and $399 for the GTX 980 and GTX 970 respectively. The leaked MSRPs past the e-tailer might end up being pre-order prices which are normally quite inflated so I'd have them with a grain of salt.
