Hi all,
I'm wondering what I should do. I'm getting good FPS in most games, but want to step it up.

I've read a lot about crossfiring the 7970s but wondering if anyone has realworld experience with this.

Is it worth the noise/heat/power usage for a 2nd GPU or spend more $ and get a 290/290x?

The 7970 is pretty good (Sapphire 3GB OC) but I'd like to get 60fps in all games with ultra detail levels.

I'm only on 1080p, so I can get 60fps if I use medium detail.

The bottom line is it worth spending $150-$200 for another 7970 or $500-$600 on a new 290/290x?

What would you do?

My system right now:
Asrock Extreme 4
Corsair HX1050
Intel Core i7 3770 (non-K)
8GB RAM - 1600mhz

Thanks for any help.
