Apart from the pricing, performance wise, is there a massive difference in gaming lol? I know its been advertised 980 is better for GTA5..but for the price is it worth changing?
 
That's for you to decide , I personally only moved to two 980s given the 970 fiasco and the fact OCUK where happy to refund us . Had it been sold as second hand for the pair I would have payed more then I would have been happy with to upgrade to 980sl... 970 should be able to power anything a 980 can albeit with a reduced framerate of 15-30% depending on scenario and res

Performance wise they'll perform more or less the same. As for choice I'd go with EVGA.

Better warranty support and back up.

I'm currently rocking 760 lol, but im thinking to go 970, theres a huge gap in performance on the comparision i checked, 760 has no problems, but i just feel the need for speed :P
 
Again they'll all perform roughly the same and all clock well regardless of brand.

I'd go with the KFA2. Gets good reviews, comes with a back plate, currently on a good offer and the others are out of stock with no Eta. It's a bargain to be honest considering it also comes with the free game.

Back plate is for watercooling?
 
10-20% difference. I think I've seen some GTA V benchmarks in which they have identical performance. If you play at 1080p, the 970 will max out the game.
