I'll be buying them in a month or two. I game only on a 2560x1440 monitor and already have a 7970 to crossfire with. AFAIK most bugs and stuff with xfire have been ironed out, but before I dropped some money on them thought I'd get the opinion of some other people.

Tossing up between 970, 2x 280x or a 780. Also I can get a 780ti for $570, is it worth the price?  I want best price to performance to reliability. Don't really want to have to upgrade in the next 2 years or so. I'll sell my 7970 to help fund the other GPU's.

If you have any other great ideas, please enlighten me.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

I saw someone selling 2 7970s on ebay for like $400 a few months ago. Would've been perfect for a cheap tri-xfire ;)

 

I'd go for the nvidia cards. Low TDP = Runs Cooler = Overclocks through the fucking roof.

R9 295x2 > gtx 980 > gtx 780ti > r9 290 > gtx970 >r9 280x

I don't think your in a rush to change GPU

By all means If possible wait for 390x??

If not get gtx 980

The mfaa will be good and they have better features now compared to amd

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
