hey. im going to start of by excusing my spelling im swedish so thats why.


i currently have a home made rig made in 2012, one radeon 7950, 950 watt power, 8 gigs of ram, intel core i5, 500 gigs harddrive, and finally a motherboard from msi ( bad spesifications my dad has the exact product names, i can get them later on.

im playing on eyefinity 3 screens and i love it
my first screen is: dvi to hdmi
second: hdmi hdmi
third: active mini dp converter to dvi

the thing is that i like the graphics card very much and it hasnt failed me once i play bf3 on 50-60 fps on normal, on 5670x1080 but i want more POWWA(power) should i buy a new single card or should i buy 2 new once (because the 7950 i currently have doesnt sell anymore) and if so i have to buy a new motherboard wich supports two graphics card. and will my 950 watt power suplie handle it?

the best would to simply get one better card but which one? i really like the amd one but im ready to try Nvidia.


the other thing is that i dont need to have 60 fps on the best settings on every game im fine with 60 on high or normal graphics. and i dont do any recordings.

What is your budget, and do you need it shipped to Sweden?

I sold my 7950 and got 2 used overclock 670s for $400. This setup blows my 7950 out of the water, even in the few games I play that SLI isn't supported in its destroying my 7950.

Your 950 watt psu is good enough for pretty much any sli/crossfire setup. I am using an ax 750 and I have headroom

If you go with Nvidia you should get the 4gb versions of the gpu since your doing triple monitors.

780ti/290x is the best single card but it is more expensive.

if you have $1200 you should get 2 290xs or 2 780tis.

Yeah 780ti or 290x would be the best, and you can use two of them later on.

Sapphire or Asus for AMD. They are the best 2 makers of AMD cards.
