Recently, my crossfire oc'd msi twnfrzr 7970's have finally given up (blue bar issue which can apparently be solved through oven-ing the cards) (1 died a few months back, the other last week), and I have begun looking for replacements for the duo.
Currently running 3 screens (5760x0180) and often play games such as battlefield 1, project cars (2 as well when its released), gta 5, cod4 mw remastered, ashes of the singularity, rust and a few low demanding games like csgo, league, etc...
As for performance wile running these, im currently having to turn down settings to medium-high with no msaa to achieve the sweet 60fps and above. ideally I would like to be able to set most settings to 'ultra' or equivalent, but will likely leave msaa off as I do generally notice big performance drops around it.
I'm not worried about power consumption, or heat, and although ive had my recently dying cards heavily overclocked for good performance, im not too concerned with overclocking provided the cards are performing well.
Main replacement im looking at now:
1 x GTX1080Ti
or should I wait and see what Vega is going to bring.
honestly, i would prefer to get something soon, as i dont have a replacement card and any gaming is dependent on the oven method to get the current dead cards to come back to life. Also im looking to upgrade sometime this year anyhow so, if theres enough positive news for vega in regard to 4k readyness (5760x1080 will take 75% of the power of 4k) ill consider holding back for vega's release.
SLI / CF not considering after looking at benchmarks and knowedge that many games will not scale well or incur microstuttering
2x RX580 in Crossfire
2x GTX 1070 in SLI
If anyone is currently running any of these config's with 3 screen setups, or similar demand (4k or close) please lemme know how theyre going for you. if you have other suggestions on card setups please lemme know.
my max budget will be around the $700 mark (USD) which is approx $950 AUD currently (i reside in aus)
