Agreed. Get a 7970 instead. Crossfire is a very driver dependent technology and combining that with Eyefinity can give you headaches. It would be worth it if you were to get something like 2 7970s or 2 7950s of course (like me, I wanted the extra power).

You can also go with a GTX 680. Its more expensive but the drivers of nvidia are better then AMD and the GTX 680 is a little bit better then the HD 7970 when i look to the benchmarks and its less power consumption.

7970ghz Edition Most of the time outpowers a gtx680... And you have 1gb more vram... Not Like that would matter!

the question is more. Do you prefer Surround or Eyefinity.

i reccomend AussieTimmes Red Vs Green Vs Blue article for more Infos.

Actually I do like the 7970 better...I was trying to compare the 7970 and the 680 but I don't know Nvidia cards..

Also can I run a 7970 and one of my 7850 in crossfire.

no.

Only 7970 and 7950 in Crossfire!

Wouldn't be wise to run 7970 and 7850 in crossfire ;) The Power difference is way to huge, AFR woul make it a horrible framerate!

(Well yeah okay, you COULD theoretically with Lucid Virtue... :silent: )
