Hey all, I've made up my mind it's time to upgrade and I'm looking for some direction from those who may have used these cards. Currently my wife and I are using identical rigs running MSI TF 7850s pushing 2560x1440 monitors. While happy with the performance I'm looking for more. So whatever I do she'll be getting the 7850s in CF at the end. (primary game is GW2)
I've got a budget of ~$500 and my debate right now is for that price I could get a single 7970 Ghz or CF 7950s and I'm torn. While I know both would be great, doing CF now stops my upgrade path but a single 7970 gives me room to CF down the road. The long term goal is to push 3+1 Eyefinity on 2560x1440 monitors (the +1 won't be this res and maybe not at all) and hopefully get around 35-40 FPS. I'll try to do this on my wife's system as well (with the CF 7850s) but she's not as critical on the video as I am so I think on medium settings she'll be happy.
So I guess the question is what will I be lacking by having a single 7970 while I save the funds for a second vs doing CF 7950 now and start saving for the other 2 monitors.
EDIT : Just realized there is already a couple theards on this I didn't see earlier going to keep reading them and post back later
Ok still torn question stands Thanks all
