Xfire 7950 worth it

[spwath]

OK, i can get 2 used 7950's for 280$. Is it worth it, and can it run tripple monitors?

[Askew]

I'd avoid used 7950s atm because of all the mining rig dumping, you'll likely get cards that have been flogged mining for months.

OK.

What is the cheaperst new or used Card(s) To run 3 1600x900 monitors OR 4 1280x1024 monitors OR 3 1920x1080 monitors OR 1 2560 x 1080 monitor

I believe a single R9 280 would have no problem running those I may be wrong though

[SkilledRebuilds]

I'd still do it, $140 each, for a couple of powerhouses, even if they die within ...6 months or less, I've spent more money on worse things.

 

AND.. When they work together, their Beasts in all modern games to date! Stock or not...

Buying cards with some warranty would be the preferred choice however...

7970/280x No problem

I'd rather avoid crossfire because of all the bugs.

But if the cards aren't used for mining (probably they are) then it's a good deal.

Im running 7950s in xfire and have encountered no bugs or hitches at all. Id say go for it and have fun. They get me great frames with everything maxed. Dont worry about the lifespan, you will replace them before they die in a few (5+) years.

Crossfire? A single 280x/7970 wouldent run tripple 1080p would it?

Ummm yea it does

Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm also curious if a single 7950 would be enough to push 1x 1440p monitor or if CF 7950 is needed. I mostly play SC2 so that is pretty much my only requirement. I have three 7950 spread amongst my rigs so when the time comes I am able to do so.
