Keep two Gigabyte 2GB 7850's in crossfire or get a 3GB 7970

[andycal]

I have two Gigabyte HD Radeon 7850's currently in a crossfire setup. Both are running perfectly, but as Crysis 3 is right around the corner I'm wondering if I should upgrade to the 7970. While playing Assassin's Creed III I'm average around 60 fps. Any thoughts?

Here's my rig.

FX-6300 @ 4.5Ghz
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5
Kingston Red blu Series 16GB
675W Power Supply

Stick with the 7850s unless when you get the game you feel you need more.

Wouldn't running one video card reduce the stress on my system and in theory run more efficient?
