Swap 7970 CF for 390 CF? Or Ti??

So the 1080Ti is small Pascal?

Nobody knows, he is just going on what happened with the 28nm Nvidia releases ie gtx680/980. If nvidia follow a similar strategy then he might be right but i think we will see a 25% boost minimum which would still be disappointing considering all the new technology coming in this round with 14/16nm, HBM 2 and dx12. I know the current cards are dx12 but i would expect the next releases to kick the current lines to the curb in proper dx12 games.

I would have stuck with what you have. In the next 6 months to a year we should have proper dx12 cards on the 14/16nm process with next gen hbm 2 memory. It's not like 7970 crossfire is not potent. With the lack of multi gpu support in some big games i can see why you might not want to wait.

The gtx980ti could look like a dinosaur pretty quick with all these things combined.

Wheres the fun in that?

And just for the record, I use my rig in the very little 'me' time I get and it's already ****ed me off that in Dying light I get flickering and in Fallout my X-fire doesn't work at all so with all that in mind it didn't take much for me to lose my patience very quickly with crossfire.
 
Okay thanks makes sense. Basically I'm hoping for 100% increase over 7970cf for £5-600. No idea if that's realistic but I've got my fingers crossed!
 
Thanks mate, I remember what you said about my 7970's but as much as I absoloutely love AMD and the cards, I don't feel AMD are supporting Multi GPU users enough anymore.

Agreed, both nV and AMD need to realise that us mGPU nutters shout the loudest when it comes to support/recommendations ;) :D
 
They need to understand the £££ invested by those users, yes they are in the minority but it's putting me off bothering in the future...

Nvidia isn't either. There's simply too few ppl doing multi-gpu so support is lacking. But not just from Nvidia/AMD, a lot of game developers can't be bothered to do anything about it either, and it's not just the small fish, look at Blizzard games, pretty much all of them have missing support for multi-gpus.
 
Small Pascal 15% faster

I know you're very sceptical, but I still think 30% minimum for "high end" small Pascal. Even the 980 was at least that much faster than a 780/Titan. With a new architecture/die shrink we have to be at least a little optimistic.
