Hi Everyone,
I know this is a common question but i couldn't find the right post with the answer.
I currently have some Crossfire HD 7950s. I have been getting a lot of graphics crashes where the displays go down and then the GPU fans go to 100%. This happens after swapping cards and each card is used as the primary. I have a 1000W Power supply and and i5 ivy bridge
As I have been out of the market for a while (2 years) I am looking for some help on finding a replacement(s). I use my computer primarily for my research activities including some dabbling into the GPU computing realm. Some times however I do decide to play some games and when I do it is nice to have power to play games on rather high settings. I only feel the need to use 1080p monitors so i know that even on newer games that most mid-level gpus will be fine to push the graphics higher.
My question is what should i go with? I am considering jumping to NVidia cards because of the changing landscape of OpenACC and other computing constructs.
Is it still worth doing Crossfire/SLI or just get a dual GPU card? I am also ok with a single GPU replacement with similar performance.
So far I have looked into single GPU replacement using 970s and 980s but there i haven't seen numbers comparing a crossfire vs a single gpu.
Thanks for the help
