Hi,
i can grab a 290x for ~$220 used [+$80 for power suppply upgrade to 999999w]
and EVGA 970 for ~$415 with backplate new
and ~$370 for used 970 [any brand]
Is the 290x almost same as the 970? because every video ive seen has the 970 performing WAY better than the 290x. [the youtube videos where they show split screen four cards running and fps at the same time]
I've always noticed around 15 fps more on 970 for most games, which doesn't qualify for "almost same performance"
It seems like 970 is closer to 980 than it is to 290x
so my question is which is a better value?
the performance difference is the only thing holding me back from a 290x
prices are CAD so dont think im getting ripped lol
