I have a 970 for my home system and it's fantastic.

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.

780TI, 770, and 970, while I think the 780Ti give the
best performance, it really makes more sense to buy the
970 as they are priced better or 980 if you have more
cash. The Redshift say go with the cards with the most
ram (that would be Titan 6tb, if you got even more cash),
depends on your needs of course.

Either case, now a days, which is the middle ranked
graphic card for softimage? (My budget is around 1k).
