Lmfao:roll:

go with 2x HD7950's bro :D:eek:

Yeah, it's not even close. OC the 7950 to 1200 mhz (maybe more if you're lucky) and it picks a fight with the 680 no problem :)

660/670 is a waste of money (especially with the 7950 prices going low).

Having a 2 card setup is always going to have a higher chance to cause more problems than a 1 card setup.
But if you really would want a 2 card setup, another 7970 would be the way to go.

AMD drivers have gotten a lot better I wouldn't hesitate to run a dual set up again, but then again I currently run two setups with 4 GPU's of old.

I see this as a win for the consumers:toast:
I will stick with my GTX 580's, however the 7970's are looking really nice for their price (especially the 7950's)!!!
