its not nice NV doing , but 970 is still a **** good card, not a single card is 4k proof really at moment in which case you need 4g ram whatsoever, and you need to take power consumption into consideration too. i do admit though (as a owner from 7870 to 970), that GCN architect has been holding really long and really well and NV practice these days is rather dodgy, and no I dont care about whether their VXGI will make its way to Unreal, proprietary stuff makes little sense to you average game project unless you are doing some pre-vis (in case it would be nice with a little touch of VXGI).

VXGI is actually (believe it or not) cross platform since it uses DirectCompute instead of CUDA, so it is a viable for upcoming games. The performance is the biggest right now, but Mike from Nvidia has tested it on a GTX 670 succesfully with a decent framerate. It will need more refinement but it looks promising.

Nvidia is currently implementing all of the Gameworks library’s into UE4, and have stated they will make them cross platform compatible once the base integrations have been completed. So far WaveWorks and FleX have been integrated, and VXGI is due to be released any day now.
