I am currently running a 7870 XT in my rig and while I can turn on a lot of eye candy at 1080P resolutions I can't max many games out and keep constant smooth frame rates. With the new driver updates from AMD would it be worth going Crossifre and getting a 2nd 7870 XT or flip my current one and upgrade to a 770 GTX? Here are my rig specs

Asrock Z77 Extreme4
Core i5 3570k @ 4Ghz (haven't pushed it yet)
16GB DDR3 (stock speeds)
7870 XT (memory default speed core oc'd to 1100Mhz
1 SSD (boot drive)
1 SATA 7200 RPM HDD (game installs)
Asus VN247H-P 23.5" 1920 x 1080 Monitor
WIndows 8 Pro
Corsair HX 750 watt PSU
 
With good drivers I think 2 of your cards could waste gtx770. A good over clocking hd7950 performs better than gtx 770.


I prefer single card for competitive gaming but I haven't tried the new amd drivers for cross fire yet.

Rumors that in October amd will release wrath on new better cards, might want to wait.
