Long story short: I had a r9 280x, I wanted a bit more performance. Bought a hd 7970.

 

xfx r9 280x

gigabyte radeon hd 7970

 

I figured 3 fans are better than two, I put the 7970 on top, I underclocked it down to match the r9 280x. Everything seams good, benchmarks etc. Actual meaningful use I have not had time for yet, going to download games overnight.

 

My problem now is that the now main card does not have two dvi display ports and so my second screen is out of commision until I figure out how to get it to be detected while plugged into the r9 280x or wait for a hdmi-cable.

 

Any solutions execpt for a new cable?
