My HD5970 just died. I am looking for a replacement card that is at least as powerful as my old card. I want to know my options (in terms of how much performance increase my money is buying me). I prefer AMD because I may mine crypto currency with it in the future. I currently have 3 1080p monitors, but am thinking about upgrading to the Korean 1440p monitors or maybe 4k in a few years. Prefer single card solutions. I play skyrim on eyefinity currently.
Thanks for your help!
 
Core i7 EE 980X
24GB of DDR3 1333 RAM
240GB Samsung Pro SSD
1.8 TB Raid
Asus Rampage III formula
Antec 1200 case
Silverstone 1500W power supply
 
7950
7970/280x
290
290x

Any of those should be faster than what you have now, especially in newer games.

Skyrim/Eyefinity should like the extra VRAM as well.

Plus you don't have to worry about CF issues.
