is it worth getting the Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum

[bigmac121]

..as I have 2 MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5. I could sell both and it will pay for the card.
Having issues with COJ:BIB SC:Blacklist F1 2010-13 to name a few all run better
with the 2nd GPU disabled. Running cat 10.8 new installed win 7 64bit

I hope 10.8 is a typo!

Have you installed 13.10 and disabled ULPS as shown in this topic

But I'd hold on until the new AMD cards are released before making any decisions to buy a new card as they are still dropping in prices

Two 7950s are faster than one 7970 platinum.

This. Try los's suggestion first.

Use the latest drivers. Uninstall old ones first. Install new ones. Disable ULPS. Play.
