    Will SLI/Crossfire ever become the standard in video games?

    Seems like even these days most PC games don't utilize SLI/Crossfire to their fullest. Do you all think SLI/Crossfire will ever become the standard in gaming PCs?

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    IMO, eliminating or greatly reducing coil whine is much more important than a few frames per second here and there. And the ASUS Strix 970 apparently has really good build quality. Those are some of the reasons I chose the ASUS Strix 970 as well.

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    I am getting an Asus Strix 970. From what I have been reading, out of all the brands, it seems to have the least chance of having coil whine. On the website - http://pcdiy.asus.com/2014/09/tested-asus-gtx-970-strix-directcu-ii/ - it says: "The fully molded inductors “chokes” also...

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    That's the problem with waiting until the end of the year. Sure, most likely new video cards will come out around Thanksgiving or Christmas time, but what will they cost? Possibly $1000 for something that beats a 970 by like 7 FPS on average at 1080p? Is that really worth it? Or maybe the new...

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    I bought Tri-Fire all at once. However, I don't think I will go with another multiple card solution for quite some time. It seems that almost 30% of the time, Crossfire/SLI is not supported in games, even the newest games. And Crossfire is good, but a bit overrated. I still can't completely max...

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    I play games at 1080p. I am aware of Shadows of Mordor's ridiculous requirements to play with ultra textures. 8GB video cards coming out at the end of the year? The problem with the wait game is that it never ends, especially when it comes to video cards.

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    Okay, this thread has gone way off-topic. Let's stay on-topic please. The question was the performance difference between Tri-fire 6970s and one 970 (especially when many PC games still do not support Crossfire/SLI).

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    I have read that PSUs only use as much power as the system calls for, so I assume that the difference in electrics bills will be extremely minimal to say the least. In other words, there is no disadvantage whatsoever is having a overpowered PSU.

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    It doesn't matter how powerful the power supply is, does it? The power supply will only use as much power as it needs to, correct?

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    I was thinking about replacing all of my three current 6970s (in Crossfire) for one 970. The reason being that even in this day and age I frequently run into games that don't support Crossfire. If I get a 970, it won't be water-cooled even though the rest of my system is. I don't think there is...
