I have a 7970 and keep getting the upgrade bug, I've always fancied crossfire but I'm not convinced its worth the hastle. So what would you do with approx £100, second hand is not a problem.
I'm thinking get a 7950/7970/280x or sell it and get a 290/x or maybe a 780?
Any thoughts?
 
cant the 7970 cope? im in the same boat as you,all these new gpu's is tempting me but tbh my 7970 copes just fine

To be honest it seems to run fine. But thought I might notice some difference with an upgrade. I think it's more of a bug to be honest as I'm seeing all these cheap cards coming up
 
Surely the thing to do is wait if you're not having any major problems? No single card can do 4k at the moment and 4k screen prices will decrease soon I'm sure.

Wait for next cards or get a cheap second 7970/280(x) off the mm if there are any going for cheap
Yeah I'm hoping the next gen will be a nice increase, just keep getting the urge, especially when I keep seeing cheap 290's.
