How does it make sense to crossfire right away?Even at 1080p 7970 kills almost all games easily maxing them out.A year down the road when it struggles to max some games is when it makes sense to crossfire.Right now 7970 crossfire only makes sense if you have 3 monitors or running 2560x1440.

I find it funny that people say get a strong card then xfire when the time comes then a new card comes out when its time to crossfire the older one they say get the new card.Dude just crossfire that 7970 it will crush a r290x easily and crossfire actually works well in most games now

If your having driver errors with that card in your sig its user error.Stop with the whole driver issue crap.nvidia is just as bad i had gtx 660 sli and came back to amd cause the drivers werre crap even when i disabled sli

huh? A 660 ti or non ti is in noway an upgrade from a gtx 580

I wouldnt go 780 ti at any resolution the 780 ti is overpriced especially being limited to 3 gb of vram.. Only way i might say 780 ti over either one of the 290 cards is if the 780 ti came with 6 gb of ram otherwize id steer clear of it as even at 1080p 3gb will not be enough in the near future...

Try 280x = 7970 ghz edition not 7870.This isnt a tough choice imo the cards are within 5% of eachother depending on the game and the 280x is $50-100 cheaper its an easy decision 280x

This time around?AMD won last gen as well and looking like they will do the same this round

clock for clock a 290 non x is faster then a 780 and this with new drivers.Give it a month or two will see the gap widen mark my words.

I would put a 290 non x with aftermarket cooling or a non reference card for that matter against any 780.Not sure how you can even comment on this yet till you see what a cooler running 290 can do

By all means throw your money down the toilet.Its dummy's like you is why the card prices are so outrageous.I bet you would pay $150 more for 3% performance increase

Why dont youpeople be more specific instead of just saying it will not play on ultra at 60 fps? 7950 crossfire will play almost all games at 1440p at 60 fps there might be a few like crysis 3 and farcry 3 but for the most part crossfire 7950's is more then enough for 2560x1440

Man this is one time i actually agree with someone trading in there 780 lol.Smart move on your part imo

Keep telling yourself that a 780 is worth $100 more then the 290's.

It comes down to this if your willing to overclock get the 7950 bottom line if not then the 7970

Not sure i would guess they clock about the same but in my experience the 7950's ive had clocked higher then my 70's
