I get the 970. 970 is the best price/performance out there. The 780 cost just as much as the 980.

Remember a wise man once said, "You'll most likely hear/see more bad reviews from products than good, because if they get a good product, they won't bother to write a review, and if they got a bad product, they'll complain about the product" ~ SoftenButterCream

EVGA GTX 780 3GB 384-bit DDR5 Dual Bios with ACX Cooler 

vs 

GIGABYTE GTX 970 DDR5 4GB GRAPHICS CARD (TELM/T)

Which one will YOU choose ?

The performance is very similar. But the 970 has 1 more gb of VRAM. It depends on the price. If they are the same then 970.

The GTX970 is newer and less power hungry and has better OC headroom

I had both chips and they are very similar in performance. Sometimes the 780 wins, sometimes the 970.

For the same price i'd go 970.
