Dumb question, but what is the Radeon equivalent of the 970?

R9 290 or 290X can come close to a 970, especially when overclocked. Yeah, it'll eat more power and be hotter/noisier, but you can find some used for $200-250.

If I were you though I'd buy a 970 and sell the two-game voucher code that comes with it, then you'd wind up with the new hotness for the price of the old and busted.

Yeah, I''ll probably end up with the 970 eventually, but I was just curious

What are the historical reasons GPUs have the different partner models and their own tweaks? Like, not just the single company model as CPUs

I've only ever heard of Sapphire, XTX, etc because of their graphics cards. I'm sure they make other stuff, but I dunno what it is
