They are comparable but most games prefer the 970.

The 970 also requires less power and generates less heat (probably also quieter)

If you want to save on cost up front, get the R9 290X.

Otherwise get the 970, cost savings on the electricity bill might ultimately make it cheaper in the long run.

i understand the GTX 970 is consumes less power and generates less heat and noise, but money is not my concern and I am only looking for performance. Stupid question but which of those two will be more future-proof?

then go for the 980. Most future proof.

between the two cards, 970 is better.
