Replace 2x7950 with Fury X?

Personally I would suggest you wait until June to see what AMD and NVIDIA release. If you don't want to wait, I still suggest you wait.

Even if the new cards only perform the same as the Fury X they will most likely have lower power requirements, and possibly more RAM at potentially a lower price. All wins in my book

Plus they will have the priority for driver updates and bug fixes too!!

Thanks for the replys guys

Changed my mind completely! Went with a 980Ti Palit Super Jetstream. Damn its whisper quiet next to my old ICEQ boosts!

Good choice, enjoy your new card.

Good decision on the Ti.

Oh yes, very true.

Good choice .... i made the same move to a 980Ti game with 6 gig .... it runs my three screens just fine

Yeah I didn't want to wait, and anyway, theres always something new on the horizon these days!

I was doing a fresh windows install so wanted to change so it was setup as it meant to go on. In hindsight I've had issues with AMD drivers so thought I'd make the change back to Nvidia and see if I fair better!

You mean like how they forgot to/not bothered to sort out the performance issue for Kepler 700 series cards for over 6 months when they launched the 970/980?

Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself when 1070/1080 are launched.

6 months is pretty standard for amd to sort their drivers out though.

For GameWorks titles yes, but Nvidia had no excuse considering those titles were in their pocket.

To be honest AMD driver has been very good since they have updated to Crimson, no major issue and we get an update almost every month?

nah, mate, you are in some alternative reality

Just make sure you avoid most of the recent nvidia drivers from the past 6 or so months that either have a chance of frying your card or/and corrupt your windows install


On a side note, I would have waited and if not, after seeing benchmarks for recent games especially dx 12 ones, I would have gone with a fury instead....
