I ask because a few times when I bring up amd cards on various tech forums some people will say how 'Crossfiring amd cards isn't a good idea'.
I do not understand why? Is there a problem when crossfireing amd cards?
The reason this pops up is because I picked a 7970 card for my first computer build (not built yet, still choosing parts/making sure with what I've chose) and in my build I include a 700 watt psu because I plan on crossfiring with another 7970 once games start to demand more than a single OCed 7970 can handle.
Would it be a better idea to get a smaller psu and wait and get a bigger one when I get the other card?
Or, would at the point I'd need another card would it be better to just get a whole new more modern card and not get another 7970?
I'm pretty new to this so please excuse my ignorance of this subject.
