Depends on your resolution you are playing.

In most scenario the 390 will be a little slightly faster than the GTX970.

But when it comes to slightly higher resolution, such as 1440p onwards, the 970 will trail behind the 390 by a mere 3%-8% in most games.

Check out those reviews.

If you are sticking to 1080p, then the 970 would be a better buy, as this will be an overall lesser power consumption, and lesser heat output vs the 390 has to offer.

So must see what kind of resolution are you targeting at.
