It depends on the game, I'd say for most yes, though you may need to turn down the AA.

Before people come in and say stupid, incorrect things, I suggest you read this on the limitations of the 970.

will i have to completely turn off AA?

 

I have no clue.

 

though at that resolution you shouldn't need it turned up very high anyways.

The 970 is a perfectly good card, by the time that the .5GB of slower RAM becomes an issue the card will most likely have trouble handling the game that is being played, and if people turned off AA and AF they wouldn't really run into any issues with the slower .5GB. (The resolutions that would use up 3.5GB+ are high enough that AA isn't really needed for it)

I know it's a good card. I just ordered a few of them, myself. But there are people on here who WILL say that it's not, and it'll handicap and a bunch of incorrect BS.

what is better? higher resolution or better AA?

 

Higher resolutions typically have higher pixel densities, which means there is less of a need for AA.

 

So higher resolutions are better.

^this..i watched a review that recommended play on 4K, instead of lower resolutions with max AAs

If Dx12 comes soon and the rumour about combining the vram of both gpu is true, i would say it's worth.
