Just no Vulkan isn't mainstream and the difference with directx 12 is minimal.
Cold for the price and hot for still being a good card = no vote.

Cheapest but I'd opt the extra tenner for a better cooler (unless you need a blower style for a sff case)

You cant base you logic on Vulkan how many game actually support it? You read to many benchmarks the difference in gaming terms is minimal depending on what resolution you game at..

I'm basing my logic on DX12 not Vulkan. Vulkan would be worse for the 970 lmfao.
