It happens that I have both cards (some of my 780 literally burned and
were replaced by 970s'). I don't really see much differences between the
two cards in terms of performance, the 970 is slightly better (~+2%).
On the good side: GTX 970 seems to heat less that 780 (they don't burn
in my DELL cases!)
On the bad side (to be confirmed by Scott Le Grand): 970 have some
memory issue where you cannot use all the memory at the same speed.
See for example:
