tna135 :
i was looking at building a new pc but what gpu would be better? radeon 7970ghz edition in crossfire, or just the radeon 7990?
Well there are issues with the AMD drivers on crossfire with stuttering (or so people say). I don't know if there really is or not, cause ive never crossfired, but I would recommend 7990.
However if you aren't biased, something like SLI 680s would be a better choice. The issues (apparently) arent as bad as crossfire so yeah. I wouldnt know from personal experience.
SLI 680 > 7990 > 690 >7970 Xfire Based not on performance, but the drivers causing stutter.
