Topic: GTX 970 or AMD R9 290x ? - page 2. (Read 3681 times)
Go with GTX 970 , lower power consumption , less heat , active cuda mining app development.....AMD 290x heats up too much.
Even though I have great preference for AMD architecture I would never buy a 290x. The price premium (over 280x) is insane and goes beyond any benefit in density I could have. Of course that's according to my e-tailer of choice. And they are too hot, too noisy... unless you buy the premium models which are easily 50 bucks more.
Maybe... I wouldn't buy either.

depends what you are mining ...But in general GTX970 will be less power hungry and less noisy.
The cuda mining dev seems more active than amd opencl miners dev now, and open source their code.
For instance for XMR a R9 290x has better performance than GTX970 whereas for spreadcoin GTX 970 is better (with open source miners).
