Hey guys I was wondering what you guys think. I've had a 7970 since it came out, and came into some money to upgrade my pc with. I was wondering if buying another 7970 and running them in crossfire or trying to sell my 7970 and getting a rx 480 4gb would be better for gaming. Thanks a lot for your help
 
Solution
Well, crossfire is never ideal as nothing really scales amazingly. However, I'd guess 2x 7970 might outpower a 480 in theory - in real world a 480 would be the best bet. Less power, higher actual fps, no xfire headaches, no microstutter etc
