Hello, Im buying a new card tonight and have had a number of answers on another post on what card is better out of the 290x and the GTX 970 But id like to get a few more opinions before a final decision is made.

Basically my questions are -

What overclocks better the R9 290x or the GTX 970

What is better out of the box R9 290x or the GTX 970

Keep in mind that my whole setup at the moment is AMD based and ive heard rumours of cards running worse on opposing CPU's

Thanks for the help!
