Wow that is a big price difference get the G1.

 

Didn't realize they were different cards. The 970 is going to be fine unless you are gaming at 4k then get the 980.

The 980 isn't really worth it over a 970. 

Look into a 290(x) too, great card :)

it depends what resolution your at, imo. 

1080p or 1440p bit too early for 4k imho

At those i'd say the 970. 

 

No point in spending that much more for little extra performance. 

 

I have to say though, Minibois' suggestion of the 290/x is a very good one :) 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?
