Nvidia is currently the best option right now for GPUs if you want the best performance (GTX 970, 980). AMD however is coming out with a new line of GPUs in 2015 (3xx I think) which will probably perform better than the 900 cards (unless Nvidia releases a 980 Ti). That's usually how it works, Nvidia is best one year, then AMD, then Nvidia, etc

For graphics performance yes. But as far as raw horsepower AMD cards have them beat.
