CROSSFIRE AMD Radeon 7790 vs Nvidia Geforce GTX 760

[Daoudos]

Thank you all for reading this!
I 've been told that doing crossfire on 2 Radeon 7790 can give a lot better performance rather than a single geforce gtx 760! Is that true?

No, it would not only be slower (marginally) but have microstutter, more heat, more noise, more power consumption, and in non DX11 games a perceivable framerate of one 7790.

Most likely not. the X7XX series by AMD are budget gaming cards and do not CFX very well. Try doing 2 7870s or 2 7950s those will most definately beat it out (although be a bit more expensive :/)

All that framerate stuff you said is BS. But no a 7950 is a MUCH better choice over both...

Congrats on bumping on old thread, but its not BS, the newest AMD drivers only fix frame latency in dual GPU setups in DX11.

no, the framerate stuff is all true, do some reading on frame times, fcat, and crossfire stuttering.
