r9 290 tri-x is 269.99 vs Gtx 970 g1 is 369.99. So for the 100$ difference is gtx 970 g1 going to be worth it? Im going to play on a single 1080p monitor.

Its for my new pc build :) The only bad thing ive heard about 970 is a coil whine, so thats pretty much my only concern.

The 970 = 290x.

It is quite a bit faster than a 290, and is a lot more power efficient.


Look at benchmarks, only you can decide if it's worth $100 more.
 


coil whine rarely happens
