    Hi all,

    So I've seen someone overclock the 970m and it was beating the 980m scores but with a £250 ($385.92) price difference is it worth it? And if anyone has overclocked the 970m how are you finding the performance and the temps?

    The 970m runs a little cooler. It's beating a 980m because it's overclocker. So yeah overclock the 980m. You gain more features with the 980m over the 970m, the price difference for those features depends on your wallet.
