GTX 980 - Worth the upgrade over an R9 290?

[CooLWoLF]

I'm bored with my hardware - what can I say haha!

OK, but for real, I'm looking to get performance gains and lower power consumption at the same time if possible. Is the GTX 980 a worthwhile upgrade over my R9 290?

Performance wise I don't think the small increase is worth the upgrade price. If the 980ti is in your budget that would probably be worth the upgrade.

Here is a comparison of the 290 and 980:
