Hi all, I am having such a DIFFICULT time deciding on which of the two I should get. I have been constantly rambling to myself for MONTHS on whether if I should get the 970 or the 390. And now with Black Friday finally here (Cyber Monday soon to come also) and a price drop just announced by Nvidia, I feel that its a good time now to buy a GPU now. However I am still undecided on whether to stick with the 970 or 390.
Here's the thing, I know the 390 is near to the 970s performance depending on the game, however the thing I'm worried about on the 970 is the whole 3.5 GB (and the other .5 being slower) of vram dilemma that I'm sure many of you know about. And the thing I'm worried about with AMD is the usual power consumption problems that AMD has on their cards along with some Nvidia optimized games. I won't be OCing anything and will be gaming at 1080p.
I am also keeping my eyes open on the PS4, all three products are now about the same price ($299) but I only have enough for one of them. Any help on deciding which of the three I should get would be appreciated. Also if you feel that I shouldn't get ANYTHING and just wait for the next Nvidia and AMD GPUs to come out (probably next year) feel free to say that also! Thanks again!
EDIT: I added a poll, thanks again!
