Which one would be better for general content creation?
(I know the R9 3xx is coming out soon but obviously nothing about their performance has really been leaked/announced.)

Then theirs that one 290x vote...

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

970 for CUDA and 290 for OpenCL... if you are using Adobe... go for CUDA and if you are using Vegas then either is a good option.

Adobe supports both so you're good with either. I would say dispite the fact it's maxwell the 290x is still the more powerful card in the right workload.

Thats why I give me vote to AMD.

It would probabkly run most of the time as a hackintosh ocassionally running Ubuntu or some other distro, so yeah OpenCL might be handy.

Well I just found out that Vegas takes more advantage of OpenCL than it does CUDA. I'm guessing CUDA support/optimization would be found more so in Graphic Design, CAD, etc.
