Should I upgrade?

I currently have a couple of 7950's. But recently I noticed a lot of new games, like Alien: Isolation and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter have been quite problematic with CrossFireX.

I have been thinking about getting a GTX980 (also to see how Nvidia is doing, as my last card from them was a 9800GTX).

I would like to get some performance boost from this upgrade, if possible, but my main concern is get rid of multi-gpu.

Although, there is one thing holding me back. From the benchmarks I've seen the 980 seems to match the performance of my 7950s in most games (considering a decent scaling). But from the Heaven 4 thread I could see that a single 980 (overclocked with a good CPU) gets about 200 points less than I get (2000).

I don't want to lose performance where my CrossFireX setup is scaling flawlessly, like Battlefield 4, for instance.

What do you guys think?
