Hi i was just wondering which of these 3 cards is superior over the other As i wish to buy one and not fuck up and have to fork out another £300 for a new one. Any help would be Appreciated.
My pc specs are:
AMD Athlon X4 840 Quad Core
4gb ddr3 Ram at 1600mhz
1tb hdd
500gb HDD
 
From highest performance to lowest performance:
1. RX 480
2. GTX 970
3. R9 290X

all of them about equal in performance though 290X did use a lot of power than GTX970 or RX480 (the other two around the same power consumption but i think most often custom RX480 being pushed to the limit making the card consume around 200-230w of power). also for modern gaming system it is wise to have at least 8GB or RAM.
