right now 970 is best bang for backs.they do not heat too much, power
consumption is prety low and they do really good job.and on top of that
Redshift as perfect companion ;)viewport performance is not that big issue at
all between two cards but being able to utilise GPU rendering with CUDA is way
more higher on the list then couple more FPS in viewport

I'd stay clear of the ATI/AMD consumer cards if I were you. From our
experience Soft becomes generally less stable (crashing a lot more), and
the raycast selection is going haywire sometimes.
