yeah, I can almost buy 2 or them for the price of a 970 in canada, and get better UHD or downscaling performance on a single 290.

 

They are at 240 bucks(the 290) on new egg with rebate, almost 100 bucks less than a 970.

 

No one can argue with that value

 

I choose the wrong quote from you but am too lazy to change it now.
