Others will probably give you more details as to pros and cons.

980
Overpriced, cooler, quicker, smashes 1080p, excellent at 1440p, okay at 4k if you turn down the odd setting
290
Excellent value for price, hotter, not as fast as 980, excellent at 1080p/1440p, need two really for 4k
Both are more than enough for current and games coming out this year.
980 probably is the more future proof. Depends on your spec/res

980 is the more powerful card.
