Im interested in everyones opinion on what graphic card to upgrade from 3x 6950 xfire setup.

First of all im having 0 issues currently and dont have to upgrade now BUT i also know there are more powerful less power hungry single card solutions available now and thats my primary reasoning for considering upgrading now.

Current hardware:

AMD 8350 @ 4.5
Asus Crosshair V mobo
16G Gskill Trident ram
Ocz 60G x4 raid boot drives
Antec 1200 watt psu

Yes, i know my hardware is getting old but im also considering moving to the new Intel setup once DDR4 becomes more mainstream so thats a temporary issue.

The budget is around 500.00, so if you have had good experience with a specific brand, model video card and will provide a 30% or greater performance boost over my 3 cards then please post your recommendation. My 3 cards are equivalent to a 7970 to give u a point of reference for comparrison.

Thanks!

ok go for a gtx 980 this card should provide enough boost for the system and you can add another in the future for even more speed

hard to say, if you are willing to wait i would, especially since you are having zero issues. if my parts were not on sale when i got my new rig I would have waited till after xmas. I might still sneak it behind the wifes back and look into a new card lol.
