They're about the same performance wise. You should decide based on the games you intend to play and the features offered by one card over the other. For example, if it were me, I would want the GTX 970 so that I would be able to turn on the Nvidia-exclusive PhysX FLEX weapon debris effects in Fallout 4.

thankyou for your advice, i will most likely go for the gtx 970 for the same reason as yourself.
