From 2 to 1

Hi all
Iam looking at breathing a bit of life into my rig, nothing special, just to last me a couple more years. I currently have a core i5 2550k @3.40GHz and 8 gigs of 1600mhz of ram with two 7950 oc editions in crossfire. As I said, nothing special, I was looking at getting a ssd, as I have a hdd and also a Radeon Fury NITRO 4096 HBM gpu. I have looked on youtube to see if I could find a benchmark between the two, but come up short, so I thought I would ask you guys, would one Fury NITRO be a jump in performance against 2 7950`s in crossfire. This is what iam looking at https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-fury-nitro-4096mb-hbm-pci-express-graphics-card-with-backplate-11247-03-40g-gx-377-sp.html and this is my price range. Many thanks
Kind regards
Andy

We see here that the 7950 is about the same as a 270x at 1080p

We see here that the Fury is about twice as fast as the 270x

WE see here that the 7950 in CF is about 1.5 times as fast as one 7950,
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7950_CrossFire/23.html

so....

The Fury is 2 x as fast as the 7950
2 x 7950 is 1.5 times as fast as the 7950

You can expect the Fury, on average, to be about 1.33 times faster than the CF 7950s.

Ok, thank you for your reply, not really worth shelling out £300.00 then. Upgrade will have to wait I guess, thanks again.
