... Since it is the cheapest 970 here. The difference in my country is about 70$ (the 290 is cheaper) And as I have seen it is 5-10% worse in most games at 1080p compared to the gtx. Can you tell me what do you think, is it worth getting the more expensive but less power drawing and less heat producing (although I do not care about heat nor power) or I should save the 70$ and get myself a 290 ?
Thank you :)
BTW I like the MSI 970 version but it is like 30-40$ more than the Palit and I really don't think it is worth the money :)
 
Solution
The r9 290 should be on par with the gtx 970. I would just go with that, since it can do 1080p perfectly, and even 1440p, and save for future gpu's coming out.
