Hey guys, I have been looking for a comparsion between these cards, and everyone says, go with the 970, it uses less power, less heat etc etc.
What i really want to know is RAW performance, I dont care about TDPs or heat, I just care about numbers, both in gaming and benchs. Silence is important too, but the Vapor-X are almost dead silent anyway so thats a point i guess i shouldnt care much (not as good as 0db as some 970s offer, but whatever)
Thanks for your time

Plus, the 970 has EVGA's new ACX 2.0 cooler, which is better than the original.Evga is having some issues with their cooling, one of the pipe doesn't really touch the GPU. So, I will take that into consideration. Gigabyte, MSI and Asus are great options.

PS: this is for the ACX 2.0 "@zeyuanfu thanks for the correction"

The GTX 970 outperform the Radeon 290X. GTX lower power consumption, Radeon produces more heat.Tlaking about performance the GTX 970 is faster than the Radeon 280X. you can look at a few charts here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2321486/nvidia-g...

Also, you can find a few threads comparing the 2 models and the GTX 970 is faster.
You said 290x first then 280x which one did you ment? I ordered a 970 Strix, but I someone told me that 290x had more performance so i was thinking about returning it for a 290x VaporX. He might have been full of crap tho, which card should be better when overclocked? assuming i got average chips, not beast overclockers not crappy ones
Sorry, made a mistake I meant 290X.
and Stay with the GTX 970. Stronger GPU, lower heat production and can OC better.
