Hello.. guys.. i got to ask why some sifu who master in recommend Rig/pc built still say/put down GTX 970 as base budget conscious pc built(RM3-4K built) ? over to R9 390 ? i mean Granada is a enhancement of Hawai.. (is a refresh) review youtube show is a bit faster, almost same price.. (just get it lelong found better price than lynt)
Lets say the cheapest custom PCB GPU is
PowerColor PCS+ R9 390 RM 1,278 on lelong
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4GB RM RM 1,505
AMD 41dB

NVIDIA 39dB

Most of the game ATI win but when use stock memory, but when OC Nvidia is win on heat/performance/noise level.
It doesn't count on famous ATI driver performance and high power consumption
So to answer your question go for ATI if u go tight budget(can get custom PCB on 1.2k) but if u got money go for GTX 970 coz better OC room and lower heat.
EDIT: Just found that u can get Gigabyte R9 390X for 1.6k LOL. So GTX 970 is no brainer unless u are NVIDIA fanboy or dont want take risk on ATI driver.
