Answer:
Hard to say - the 780 has more cores, but a much lower clock speed. The 780 has less memory, but a 384bit memory interface whereas the 970 has a 256bit. But it has an extra GB.
It is safe to say that the 970 will be cooler, quieter and draw less power - but the performance numbers are a bit of a see-saw. I'd check out some benchmarks if I were you, search for how certain games perform on certain cards - also, have a look at LinusTechTips on youtube, he does a lot of these benchmarks. Has also done a vid on the 970+980 and rates them highly.
