780ti wins in benchmarks.
More VRAM

Gibbo benched with the MSI 970, I'm curious if this is the same with the G1 as it's described as a '780ti crusher'

I don't know?
It's all down to the boost clock. The performance difference will be negligible either way.
Choose whether you want less heat in your case, less power consumption and Maxwell features. The extra VRAM, meh. You're only running 1440 with two cards. That's down to you, ask Wizz for benchmarks that show 2 cards @1440 where 3GB isn't enough then weigh up how long you're planning on keeping the cards.
If i was buying, it would be the 970s though, if that helps.

Yup and this also.
at lower res of 1080 the 970 oc can beat it most games. as the res gets higher 780ti seems to be a couple of fps infront but...then you have the 3gb limit of the ti.
most g1 970s do 980gtx stock speed with ease so tss a coin.

Depends if the game or benches used the VRAM or Bus Width more which wins that result.
Suppose the architecture changes for the Core etc can come into play also.
Remember Gibbo did that bench a few weeks ago and stated the 980 (not 970) had to be OC'd to at least 1500-1600mhz to beat the 780Ti and the 780Ti was an average OC'r which was not as clocked as high many peeps cards here (1250-1300mhz on many).
To buy today I would buy the 9 series card (980 if me).
AFAIK Nvidia stated all recent GPU's will be DX12 so 780Ti supports DX12 but who know 100% till MS release it (there is a thread on topic).

I Wonder if the higher 384-bit Memory Bus of the 780ti over the 256-bit of a 970 can also make some games run smoother ?
Do not know and the newer compression on the 900 series can no doubt hurt performance as well as improve it I would bet dependant on the games engine etc.
A bit like NAND Flash on SandForce controller SSD's which are great at compressible data but not as great on uncompressible data so newer SandForce SSD's use Toggle Nand to get best of both.
It would be great to have a wider bus that still has the new compression but can toggle compression on/off when needed.

I used to have a GTX 260. But that died months ago.
I got both the 780ti (zotac) and the 970 (msi), and also use a 1440p monitor
on shadows of mordor benchmark the fps was exactly the same
3d mark scores were nearly the same as well, with the 970 actually beating my 780ti
on tomb raider i got higher scores with the 780ti (97 average fps vs 72 ) which i dont know the reason for it.
ill keep you updated should i decide to do more comparisons, but the difference between them from my experience is very small
