Tri-X R9 290 VS Gigabyte GTX 970

[The9KGamer]

I can purchase either the Tri-X R9 290 or the Gigabyte GTX 970, which one should I get and why?
NOTE: After price match I can drop the Gigabyte down to 400$, is the 40$ price difference worth it for gaming? (1080p at the moment)

Well, I recommend the EVGA GTX 970. It has more OC potential and it's cheaper. What more could you ask for?

I would recommend the GTX 970. It is a much more efficient graphics card. I have one myself, and I doubt that you will be disappointed.

The gaming version of the GTX 970 is factory overclocked and has a binned GPU that is faster than the other card. It is worth the extra money.

Gigabyte is the cheapest one available where I live by a decent bit so I'll probably stick with that one if I get it, looks like gtx 970 it is, thanks
