ASUS Strix Edition GeForce GTX 970 Graphics Card Review @ Techgage

It is good to finally see some custom PCB work on the latest 9 Series cards from nVidia.  I know there is more but ASUS is usually at the forefront when it comes to releasing custom versions early.

With the help of Maxwell, NVIDIA has hit a definite home run with its GeForce GTX 900 GPUs. In our look at the GTX 980 last week, we were left thoroughly impressed, but little did we realize at the time, the GTX 970 – and ASUS’ Strix edition in particular – was about to impress us even more. Simply put, you need to check this card out.

Of course the important thing to note is that there are different degrees of "custom pcb".  Some cards feature improved VRM circuits and require a different board while others tweak the board layouts to match a cooler design.

By the looks of it the Strix isn't so much custom for overclocking but rather visual appearance and compatibility.
