I have a geforce gtx 970, if I drop a Diamond AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB DDR5 PCIe 3.0 Video Card, will it render faster?

No,
the card must be an nvidia with cuda.

Whoa, plans to be compatible with non-Nvidia Cuda cards? Really?

If the non-CUDA card is the display card, then the CUDA card can spend more of its time and memory rendering, and the output will be more responsive, so yes, it's possible.

comments are right. but some extra info is for you. I have remembered some compatibility issues to run a Nvidia card with Ati 7970. You may have similar issues. Also I don't think that Cuda and Opencl rendering can work together. Best is to wait for details from Octane developers.
