1080p should be fine...
That is why I am still a happy user so far.

Yeah true... red camp more worst...How true, even with 4GB the R9 290 still loses handily to the GTX970.

Depends, price? performance? power consumption? noise? bitcoin mining? MSI lightning version? R9 290 or R9 290X beats GTX 970 on several categories. lol.
Spin spin away, PR department go!
But hard fact GTX 970 is still hardware gimped 3.5 gig card.
Edit : Oh I forgot, Nvidia took a nosedive on drivers quality as well. From killing of older gen cards to the famous drivers have stopped error message. lol.
Bring it to higher res lo. Im sure the 290x 4gb and 512bit bus size will perform better than the 970 3.5gb and 256bit bus size.
Beside AMD omega drivers aint that bad.
Drivers, both camps sure have their fair share.
But 970 just cant handle higher resolutions due to memory limitation.
Agree on the drivers part. And to think some people defend Nvidia so strongly by saying AMD drivers suck. I myself stick with 314.44 ever since I got my GTX670, the last time I updated to the latest I get the nvlddmkm error message and windows theme will go to classic before reverting back to Aero.
FOr 1080P for some games like COD AW the memory will consume more then 3.5gb... got slight shuttering... but nothing serious... i not a fan boy but but using ati and nvidia.... still nvidia driver is more stable..
....I can;t take your claim of not being a fanboy seriously when you still claim of AMD driver woes when it's been okay for some time already....
Probably not everyone will share your smooth amd experience. Same goes for nvidia.
