Hey everyone,
I'm kind prefer nvidia cards more vs amd due to all the past issues I had with them but this isn't about me. My bother doesn't want my opinion so I'm asking for him, He can't decided between the 2 cards below,
SAPPHIRE TRI-X OC 100361-2SR Radeon R9 290X

GIGABYTE GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD GeForce GTX 970

He doesn't card about Nvidia being 3.5GB as he is only going to game on 1080p. Not looking for fan boy opinions trashing the other card, More looking for people that own either or and there opinions on them when it comes to overclocking, heat, and sound. He has a GTX 480 SC currently, So this is a pretty big upgrade for him.
Thanks for any future comments.
