I have a Sapphire Radeon 5970, and I'm not getting even close to a solid 60 fps on AA proving grounds. This card is quite a bit older, but I see that according to the GPU hierarchy it's still competing with some of the modern cards. I'm wondering if it's worth my while in getting a 2nd Radeon 5970 to crossfire with my current one. I can get a used 5970 for about $200-250, but a R9 290 would run me about $400. Does anyone have any data on how 5970 crossfire vs. R9 290 setups compare?
