R9 290x you don't want any of nvidia's awesome gamestream or others. (also you get 2 games if you buy a GTX 970)

3 tips to have a good time on the LTT forums | 1. When you reply to someone please quote them | 2. Please follow your threads | 3. Follow the C.o.C 

If you follow these 3 tips you should have a blast.

i'm rather proud of this for some reason. http://imgur.com/6ttS5XZ

How many times do I have to say this? The 970 has 4GB of VRAM - the last 512MB is just crippled. Stop spreading that.

We all no that, but you can only use 3.5gb. It's like saying a car can go 200mph, but a computer limits it's it to 150. Are you going to say the car does 200mph? No. You are going to say it does 150. Same thing with the 970.

The car can go 200MPH. It's just artificially limited by a computer - but it's within its capability to go 200.

I would tell someone that it has the capability to go 200MPH(if I knew that) but it's artificially limited to go "only" 150MPH.

3.5 GB at full speed, 0.5 GB at 1/7th speed. I've said this before. No argument needed.

hey guys what should be the better solution as gpu

tri-x r9 290x

or the

gtx 970

 

it is for 1440p, and im going to upgrade it prob later

i have a 970 and its a beast card at 1080p and beats the 290x by a small margin at this resolution, but from pretty much every review I've seen from trusted reviewers the 290x edges out quite a bit better than the 970 at higher resolutions. Seeing as you're going 1440p, I feel obligated to advise getting a 290x, unless you really care about all the added nVidia eye candy effects (HBAO+, DoF, MFAA, PhysX and what not). If instead you prefer higher solid FPS rather than a little more eye candy, stick with the 290x.

Or if you don't have financial limitations, you could just get a 980 and have higher FPS as well as the eye candy  :D

"Screw YOU guys, I'm going hoeeme"
