So my GPUs are starting to not quite be able to play most todays game at high/ultra.
I have crossfire 6950hd 2gb
Now I have been thinking of upgradeing into either (just gona buy 1- not looking for Another crossfire/SLI setup)
a Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 290 4GB "OC" or the upcoming new GTX card ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB DDR5.
They are both similar in performance, but yes the GTX 970 does have a bit more Power and performance - and because it's nvidia I don't expect nearly as much driver problems as I've had with these damn AMD drivers.
*So which one would be optimal for me?* Im a gamer / modding enthuiast, I don't make mods but I like to push the games I have to maximum in Eye candy and then roll back to performance friendly levels.
Yes, I do have Skyrim - that's partly why I want a card with a nice amount of VRAM and also because future RPGs / shooters will push the texture sizes and looks even more, Battlefield 5 / Bad Company 3 , Witcher 3 and maybe a future 3rd release of the Metro RPG series - games like that.

Is there any game out right now you are hoping to max? Because if you are waiting on Witcher 3, I recommend you to wait buying a new card since it is month away.
As of now we do not know what AMD has in store to counter Maxwell with. Neither do we know exactly when GM200 comes. Rumors has it at early 2015 (around the same time as Witcher3). Possibly with 8gb of vram.
