I currently have a Sapphire 7870 XT. It's a fantastic card, but I've been wanting to XFire it for some time now. The obvious choice would be another 7870XT just to keep them matched, but then I got to thinking about using a Sapphire 7950 as my primary, and XFiring it with the 7870XT. Most of my games already run at max settings (except Crysis 3) on a 50" plasma, but I'd like to ensure that all my games can sustain frame rates at or above 30fps at minimum. Sleeping Dogs maxed out drops below 30 from time to time. Any thoughts on this?

I also plan on upgrading my Gen 1 Sabertooth 990FX MOBO to the Gen 3 which supports PCI-E 3.0 (FINALLY). The extra GPU bandwidth should definitely help.
