Radeon RX 480 versus GeForce GTX 970 - which should you buy?

Which is the better card - The Radeon RX 480 or the GeForce GTX 970?

When might we see the 970 costing less than the RX480?

At the moment, it's pretty neck and neck. Unless the 970 gets a massive price cut soon, the RX 480 provides the better overall value due to future driver optimizations and increasing use of Async compute in Dx12. 480 would get my purchase at the moment.
