good day every body .. in the time being im having a 7950 Cross fire ..
and somehow its working pretty fine .. except for the heat but its pretty under control ..
i was thinking of trading my 2 7950 for 2 r9 290 ..
i play on 2560X1440 ..
i do have a seasonic 850 PSW
fx 8350 4.5 Ghz
16gb hyper beast 2400 ddr3 ram ..
that pretty all of it ..

my question ..
will it going to be worth to upgrade my 2 7950 to 2 r9 290 ?

thank you all for your time ..

If you are will to spend all of that money on graphics cards just go with one. Like the NVIDIA Titan Black. It will only be a little more cost wise. Also, I think your current setup would bottleneck a pair of 290's or a Titan Black. That also may be an upgrade path for you.

its a tottaly different price tag than the titan .. i would only pay like 250-300 $ + my 2 7950 cards and i would get 2 r9 290 in exchange .. i just dont know if its worth it or not .. at the time being im not facing any performance issues with my 2 7950 crossfires .. and i can pretty max every thing ..
perhaps watch dogs was the one i struggled to make it work but i think the game it self has a lot bugs ... mainly i was thinking about this trade not because im having issues with my 7950CF its because i though maybe sell them now while they are still having a good price tag ..

Well, it depends what you want, your not having any performance issues at the moment, but down the road you will be having fps trouble, due to the rise of gpu taxing games and engines, In my opinion I would say that it is worth it, two r9 290's will blow anything out of the water at 2560X1440, but do you want to pay the 250 dollars as well as giving up your CF 7950's ? It's up to you, we cant decide, but we can give our two cents and my money is on that it is worth it, because you dont want to struggle down the road and then the deal is gone and have to pay more for them.
