Hello,
I have recently upgraded to the awesome (IMO) Asus PA278Q 2560x1440 display thanks to a fortuitous work requirement, but now I wonder if i need a 2nd HD7950 to get the most out of it when gaming? I play a bit of everything, and like the idea of squeezing the most out of this display.
With the release of Catalyst 13.8, it seems that AMD have started to address the previous issues (if not completely fix them yet), but I could just spring for a single GTX780 instead to eliminate any CF/SLI issue.
So, my questions are:
1. 2nd HD7950 or 1x GTX780 @ 2560x1440?
2. Is the power draw of CF/SLI when doing non-gaming tasks (PS, AI, office apps etc) too high to make it a viable option?
3. Do I even need to worry about either option when i can just turn down the eye-candy instead? (but I do love eye-candy)
All advise greatfully recieved.
Thanks in advance.
