theoretically slightly better, but u wont notice the difference irl, requires more power, catalyst driver, etc.etc.
i personally would go with 970 cos nvidia drivers > catalyst, quiet, low power, etc.

Reasons for 290x:
Cheaper

Reasons for GTX 970:
Runs Cooler
Uses Less Power
Benchmarks equally or better than a 290x
Better driver support
More frequent driver updates

So the MSI is the best for the buck?
No other opinions?

Imo go for a Nvidia GTX970..
The best version is the one pointed out in the pic above. the MSI Gaming version... it beats the ASUS version by a fraction in the benchmarks...
