    I have a Palit gtx 970 installed in my machine currently. Love it and love the drivers . However I've got my hands on a r9 290 direct CU 2 from asus and not too sure what one to keep. I love the 970 and loved the performance of the last 290 I had . Can't decide. ( not too worried about the vram issue on the 970 lol.)

    It would make sense to just keep the 970. They're similar in speed but the 290 eats a lot more power.
