I've looked at all sorts of reviews and benchmarks. In my opinion, the 970 is faster, quieter and more efficient. I want to be absolutely sure that I will be able to run games being released at this time, and in the future. I feel that this card will do just that.
After reading Marines advice, I am going to change platform first. Then when the 20nm cards come out, I'll get one of those. I plan to stay at 1080p because it's still really good and I enjoy it. Will my 290 + 4790K be ok for Far Cry 4, GTA 5 and Project Cars? Because these are the games that I really want to be able to run well on Ultra with AA at 60+ fps.
The term die shrink (sometimes optical shrink or process shrink) refers to a simple semiconductor scaling of semiconductor devices, mainly transistors. Die shrinks are popular among semiconductor companies, such as Intel, AMD (including the former ATI), NVIDIA, and Samsung for enriching their product lines. Die shrinks are beneficial to end-users as shrinking a die reduces the current used by each transistor switching on or off in semiconductor devices while maintaining the same clock frequency of a chip, making a product with less power consumption (and thus less heat production), increased clock rate headroom, and lower prices.
