Hello guys.

It's upgrade time! I currently own an HD 7970 and I wonder if I should pair it with a brand new 280x in crossfire or sell it and get an 970.

I am leaning toward getting a more modern gpu.

If I sell my 7970 for the price its currently going for here in Poland and buy the GTX, I'll spend less cash than buying an additional 280x

What do you think?

970 is better.
