I am looking at purchasing a new gpu between the two. They both are very similar in benchmarks and price. M y analysis done on both cards tells me the following: R9 390 is 8gb ram for future proofing but its downside is its more power hungry, more heavy and more heat is generated. On the other side the gtx 970 is better in power consumption and less heat but its only 4gb and technically 3.5gb The thing that is annoying me the most is that the gtx 970 comes with a free game. I don't know if its is worth it or not. Give me suggestions and share your experiences on what to do.
