Gtx 690 or crossfired 7970s

They are, I would have thought roughly the same. Are you noticing any performance issues with your current cards?

Not something I would say would be worth doing but that decision is entirely up to you.
 
As above, unless your CrossFire experience isn't good, it's pointless especially as I imagine there's money involved, unless you want PhysX/Nvidia 3D, even if one was faster than the other, it won't be by much game dependent.

The one thing I will say though is, when my 7970 died, I wasn't left without a gaming capable card as I had the 7950 to fall back on-you don't get that luxury with any 690/7990.

Some take to 3D, others can take or leave it and some get headaches, sickness or eyestrain. I took it, left it. I thought it looks amazing but to get the best effect (pop out + depth) my aiming wasn't as good. It's the way the game plays that I enjoy so when that was taken from me slightly I didn't enjoy it as much. Other games like Trine 2 and others like that are beautiful and I could sit and play these games for hours in 3D, sadly I only tried Trine 2 due to having 3D. Battlefield 3 was :eek:, you'll have to manually set the stereo convergence for good pop out. It'll take a while to get it right but when you do it transforms the game. I can remember looking out towards E on Kharg island over the bay area and I felt like a child at Christmas. Sadly, like I explained above, is great to look at but to play competitively, it's not the best.

I've only play BattleField 3 and Pro Evo 2013 for last 2-3 months so maybe I should have gave it more time. I've made too many impulse changes over last 6 months due to reading and being stupidly manipulated :D.

Have fun with the 3D.
