Where once did i say it could not be used. You are just making it up as you go along. I said in a few quotes this is what i find weird about it. He does state crossfire needs higher numbers to be as smooth as sli and it clearly gets them. He does state that the new beta's have improved the stuttering and hopefully it can only get better.

Are you being serious :eek:

I have pointed out how in one review he loves CF and in the very next he doesn't but you are still happy to use them as a reference for a good honest review? I don't mean to appear rude but come on, you can see the failings surely?

"So Kyle's review that states "Crossfire 7970's is the best experience" can be used but Kyle's experience that states "Crossfire 7970 is a stuttering mess" can't be used?"

This quote from you was what i replied to. Which makes it look like i would use the latest review because it suits crossfire and not the other because it doesn't. I never even read the 7990 review as the one above it was more recent. They both count off course and yea he has totally contradicted himself.

I would lend you my spade but you have dug a deep enough hole already...

Think I was perfectly clear

.

To save the OP's thread I'll leave it at that

Gregster · 17 May 2013 at 22:37

Same here. For the sake of the OP's sanity (and mine) I will leave him to ponder if his CPU will be a bottleneck or not.

You obviously didn't. To save the op's thread i will leave it there.

Greg keep your shovel i don't feel like i need to dig myself out of anything. I understood all you said and the circus that came with it.

TheRealDeal · 17 May 2013 at 22:46

To the op. I would be looking to overclock the cpu a little further but your system should be a good match for a gtx690. Sorry for the off topic stuff but it does happen around here frequently.

Well I can't help with your lack of comprehension skills but what I can help with is GPUs :cool:

. Generally speaking now, you hear a lot about x CPU bottle necking y GPU and a lot of the time it's exaggerated as to its effect. Even if you lose 10% GPU utilisation due to it the actual drop off in FPS terms is relatively minor. The common argument against this is that you pay so much for a GPU you want it running at max throttle... which I do agree with to an extent but it's too neat and tidy an argument to hold up. It really needs to be quantified to pass judgement and if you're running multi-GPU then sometimes the game engine itself or the drivers stop you being fully utilised so it's important to bear that in mind too.

Ha! That was the best response you could have made. Thanks

Nah you just comprehended it wrong

. It was meant as a joke. Anyhow sometimes you need a crystal ball to comprehend the meaning behind someone's text. I think we definitely took this as far as it can go. Good game.

Maybe he had the same experience I have?
On civ5/arma 3 and some others CF is epic and I have posted about how good it was in other thread, however on farcry3/crysis3 its terrible and jumpy.

Rusty0611 · 17 May 2013 at 23:45

FC3 can be fixed with RadeonPro. Not ideal still but it's playable.

Maybe but in his most recent review he states that in all games farcry and crysis 3 included that the 7970cfx gives the best game play experience which means better than titan/gtx680sli and 7990. All his other reviews are a contradiction to what he said in this article.

Quad sli on crysis 3 with 4 Titans is lovely and I only have to run my CPU @4.0ghz, no bottleneck there.

OP your CPU will be fine just overclock it a bit.
