Is this an upgrade, from 1x1.
(I'm buying two 7950's, but would one still be an upgrade?)

Also are the new GPU's MoBo Compatible?

also whats ur power supply because u should make shur u have enought juice to power a crossfire 7950 setup

you will see a night and day improvement in game performance...the question is can your current power supply support the top dog amd card power wise

im using 7970 on the same mobo...pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible so it will work

so with a crossfire bridge ribon adapter thing it should work for him, sorry if i look noob but i have 0 experience with crossfire.

and yes pci-e is backwards compatible but what powersupply does he own thats the question.

@alvine what do you think?

The performance will improve by around 50%. If you got 40 fps on your GTX 560 Ti, you'll get around 60 on HD 7950.
