Hi I'd like to know which is better
The gtx 970 vs r9 290x 8gb I will be gaming on a 50 inch tv at 1080p of 1440p at max resolution and hope to get the best FPS
 
Solution
I'd get the 970. It has comparable performance to the 290x but uses alot less power and runs much cooler. The 8Gb on that 290x would only be helpful if you were running 2 or more in crossfire on a 4k display.
The 970 has better architecture than the R9 290x, so you will feel a little difference such as it will be smother and slightly faster. from experience AMD have let me down a times, so i would go for the 970 as it is one of the best gpu on the market!
