Which one of these GPUs are better than the AMD Radeon HD 6990?

[xrobeert]

3 years ago I built my own setup. But recently my graphic card stopped working. It was an AMD Radeon HD 6990
And I need a new Graphic Card, but I need to choose between the Nvidia GTX 970 or GTX 980.
I know the 980 is a little faster than the 970 but the price is really high to what it offers.
So I need a similar graphic card to the 6990 I had before to don't feel any negative difference while playing.
So which one is better than the 6990? 970 or 980?
If both are better I'll just buy the 970 since it's a lot cheaper and offers almost the same as the 980

Comparing hardware doesn't work for different architecture plus those some of that stuff doesn't support cf so puts half scores. The hierarchy chart makes it easy. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

the GTX 970 is one hell of a card, i own one and for the price it has to be one of the best.

I mean it is the most used graphics card by steam users at the moment so that says something.

I would say 970 unless you are 4K gaming or gaming on 3 monitors, if you are thinking of getting sli or Oculus or something in the future then maybe the 980 would be a better bet.
