did you know that the r9 390 performs better?

Both are good, also consider EVGA. Their customer service is bar none.

 

Edit: Oh, can't forget the 390. I would recommend the 390 Nitro.

[alexhelvetica]

The 390 preforms better than the 970 for gaming, and it has more VRAM so it can be used for higher resolution displays.

R9 390 outperforms the 970

Yes but I like the 4k upscale for my older games and shield streaming I currently have ano r7 260x

are you looking for a gtx 970 that has a high out of the box boost clock OR are you looking to overclock it yourself?

MSI or EVGA

For the R9 390, Sapphire or MSI.

Asus Strix gets LOUD UNDER load.

The R9 390 can also do that - it's called VSR and the 260X should also be able to do it to 1440p

I wasn't going to overstock it right away

To be completely honest, your CPU would be a huge bottleneck. My Phenom 840 held back a 270 quite a bit

I don't think the r7 can run in full details on a 21 by 9 moniter and I'll look in to the r9

The R9 series can 100% sure do it. I can do 1440p and I've done it in Witcher 3 - wasn't playble since my card is not a 1440p card but it works. The 390 being GCN 1.1 should also be able to do 4K via VSR - same goes for the 380, 390X, 290, 290X, Fury, Fury X and Nano

The R7 260X might be able to do 1440p - you'd have to check. It might exceed the max res of that card though

how the gigabyte g1 gaming 970 hasn't been mentioned here?

 

check out my overclocking guide; link in my forum signature

Thanks guys I hadn't even considered the r9 but it seams to be a much better choice
