After the commotion, GTX 970 remains as good a bet as any. Can you believe the GeForce GTX 970 is already a year old? Where does the time go? 12 months ago we approved of Nvidia's mid-range offering, alluding to "a mighty-attractive price for a very-decent card." It wasn't all clear sailing, though, particularly at the turn of the year when the Internet caught wind of GTX 970's memory shenanigans.

Turns out 4GB of memory isn't quite what it seems, but put aside your feelings on Nvidia's failure to disclose the finer details from the offset and you'll probably agree: despite the bad press, GeForce GTX 970 remains as good a bet as any. Prices now start at under £250 and for that amount it offers plenty of bang for your buck. So while the GPU may be getting on a bit, it's worth revisiting and we're doing precisely that with a recent addition from Gainward, the GeForce GTX 970 Phoenix.
