Until today I had my mind made up that two GTX 970s dominated anything in that price bracket.However, upon looking at the R9 295x2 I'm now finding myself weighing my options. I haven't used an AMD (/ATI) card since the Radeon 9700 Pro was new back in the days of cavemen, so when it comes to team red I'm pretty much a noob, so please forgive any false assumptions.

From what I see the R9 295x2 hovers around the same price, but offers a good bit of performance more, especially at the higher 4k settings. It also has 8GB of vram, which would come in handy for me.

Thoughts? Am I missing the obvious? How does R9295x2 overclock?

The 295x2s are pretty power hungry, lol, if you want more display options, get the 970s, because it has HDMI 2.0. I'm stuck with mini display ports, which forced me to get a very expensive TV for 4k that would be compatible.
