Say hello to the MSI Geforce GTX 970...gaming tests to follow shortly

Hi peeps, this post took longer than expected. I decided to test the performance of this card in a different way to see the average maximum framerate and compare with the other cards I've got. This means I've had to revisit the previous cards I've tested for comparison purposes. The cards that'll be tested will be the R9 290X, GTX 970, GTX 780Ti(delivery got delayed so will be added later) & R9 380.

Test Setup
Motherboard - Asus Maximus Ranger VII
Processor - Intel i7-4790K @4.4Ghz
RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury @1866Mhz
Storage - Samsumg 2TB HDD
Power supply - Corsair AX860i

Test Method - FRAPS was be used to capture the framerate and an average of 3 runs of the game title will be used to calculate the framerate. This is to minimise errors and as such will take quite a while to collate the data.
All games will be tested at 1920x1080, unless stated otherwise. Actual gameplay will be used unless I believe the in-built benchmark of the title suffices. Only DX11 games will be tested. As soon as a benchmark tool for DX12/Vulkan is available I'll be doing games like Hitman, RoTR, AoTS, TotalWar:Hammer, DOOM.
Power consumption is captured using Corsair LINK software

Feel free to ask questions...I had to remove Hitman Absolution from the test as it gave me inconsistent readings.

Game settings used
Witcher 3 - Ultra Settings, High Post processing, Nvidia Hairworks OFF
AC: Syndicate - Very High Settings with FXAA
Black Op3 - High Setting with SMAA 2x
Crysis - Very High Setting with FXAA
Shadow of Mordo[/b]r - Ultra Setting
[b]Tomb Raider 2013 - Ultra Setting - MSAA 2x

I can't post a better picture of the comparison chart but did a link instead - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5X1R2Zk1IaS00UWM

Which ones can I get from you. My preference is the AMD RX480, which is best value for money right now, but I can settle for anything good enough provided the money is not too high.
