@Ubercake: That sucks, but your message was still reassuring nevertheless. @notea: Also reassuring. Thank you both for the input you've provided and with those last posts i am happy my judgement and common sense is still there.

Okay, you've changed my mind completely. I started to look at Nvidia's selection and pulled up this 670. Does it look good or is there a better deal somewhere that i'm missing? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130787

With the 13.4 driver AMD reduced micro stutter for a few games. Should i take this as a hint that they'll work on micro stutter as a whole in the future. Should i get Nvidia now for a higher price or wait?

After a long time of just using fraps for benchmarks there is now frame rating. This has shown to the public that AMD has micro-stutter even with single cards. I have been seriously thinking about buying a 7950 due to it's price/performance. Am i wrong to do so? Anyone with a 7000 series...

To put it the short way, if you want better performance for your dollar get the 7950. If you happen to play a LOT of games that have PhysX and you think it is worth the extra cost then get nVidia. The 7950 comes with Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite. The 670 comes with $150 of in-game credit for...

I've decided to go with a different graphics card so i wouldn't need such large pcie spacing, because mobos like that aren't in my price range. game-addict has provided some great options though, and i will look through them and decide which one to buy.

IMO if you are considering a 7970 then you might as well get a 7950, it has great performance for 1080p gaming. (assuming you have a 1080p monitor) There are benchmarks that show that the performance increase is very small and i don't think it is worth it for $100+ more. These are the...

So i've been looking for a new mobo but i need a few specifics and i have looked but i'm not so good with mobos. ~good pcie spacing, enough for a 3 slot card ~at least 3 pcie slots for 3-way crossfire ~LGA 1155 please ~around $150-$200 if possible The people here at tom's hardware are...

AMD's site says the 6850 needs at least 500W. That means you will need an upgraded PSU, so if you don't let getting a new one get in your way then get a nice name-brand one. Ask any PC builder and they will all say never skimp on the power supply. I would recommend a nice Corsair 600W...

I'm not exactly a human calculator but i would say you need a power supply upgrade first, something good by a name brand. So many people on these forums have problems because they skimped on their power supply. Best be safe and go with at least a 550 watt.

Generally, you don't need more than 1gb unless you plan on having a multi-monitor setup.

So i should just plug them all into the top card, while using at least one display port? So could i use a different connector, with a display port converter and be fine? EDIT: I did a little more research, and while the info on this thread was very helpful, other sources topped it off! Thanks...

Ok, so i plan on getting dual 7970's and triple displays in eyefinity. Do i plug all the monitors into one card? Or two in one, and one in the other? I hope i made it clear enough for everyone, i'm not too good at explaining things. I've never done this sort of thing and there seems to be...
