    Do I really need a GTX 980 Ti 2 way SLI to get 70~100fps in 1440p?

    I would expect an OC, even a hefty one, to only be good for a 20 fps boost at most. Look up a review of that specific card OCed and see if it fits the bill.

    Will I run into issues Crossfiring on this setup?

    I wouldn't even bother buying a wattage meter. Upgrade your PSU, I believe 750 is recommended for Crossfire setups.

    Yet another GPU buy advice, but for photo editing (Lightroom 6)

    Sorry didn't see the rest of your questions at the end there. The GTX 970 and R9 390s are probably over kill for what you need. I would think the GTX 950-960 should be enough. As for brand, which ever has the fan/color config/price you prefer. They are all name brands so I would buy the one...

    Yet another GPU buy advice, but for photo editing (Lightroom 6)

    I believe a nVIDIA GPU would be the best choice here. The CUDA technology will help a lot with Adobe. Also the VRAM shouldn't be of too much concern, depending on resolution 2GBs should plenty. Also nVidia GPUs use a lot less power then AMD.

    GTX 980 or R9 390X? (DX12)

    Lol I wonder if the OP has found the help he was looking for here, sort of became a discussion about DX 12 and it's future between the two us renz496. Over all though I think AMD has a temporary lead on nvidia due to AMD drivers being designed for low level API, but once nvidia fixes their...

    Blue screen annoying as hell

    That virus clearly has damaged critical Windows system files. Either reinstall or do a repair of Windows 7 with a Windows 7 DVD or upgrade to Windows 10.

    GPU driver problem?

    Have you tried a system restore to point before this happened? Did you do anything to your computer before this started happening?

    Anyone familiar with Z-Wave or Home Automation?

    I want to build a z wave network of devices around my home, but instead using a standard device to control them, I want to use software ran on a Windows or Linux PC to control the devices. Anyone familiar with this? I'm mostly interested in z-wave but would consider zigbee.

    Problems with MSI R9 280X

    Probably won't help, but try reseating the GPU making sure its installed correctly and the additional power cables are hooked up to the GPU.

    Problems with MSI R9 280X

    Since you've done everything from drivers to OS it leads me to believe hardware.

    Problems with MSI R9 280X

    That leads me to believe its a hardware issue, not software. How old is the GPU and can you return it/RMA?

    Problems with MSI R9 280X

    You said you tried Windows 7, 8 and 10, did you do fresh installs of the operating systems on this computer?

    Problems with MSI R9 280X

    I'm leaning towards software issue. Have you tried the beta drivers yet? When you were swapping between driver versions, were you making sure you removed all the old driver software by using an app to sweep and clean up any left over files? Try booting into safe mode and try unistalling the...

    I'm also waiting till then to buy new GPU and there's no way to know for sure unless you work in marketing for that company I guess.
