No doubt.
I'll deal with it, though.
obviously 30 fps on a benchmark test with no action isn't ideal.
But for the baller on a budget like me who games like 2 hours a week nowadays, I'm one happy dude

Me too but I'd rather get a single 670 instead.
Yea no doubt, I would just be buying for laughs and fun.. just a build theme you know?

How bad would I be messing up buying another 570 and putting it into SLI vs just getting a 7970/680 or something.
I haven't bought anything yet because I have been sort of waiting to see what's new coming out and how that affects current prices. Also, because I have been sort of lazy. After my last upgrade I have been playing games instead of worrying about hardware but Arma 3 is only running around 45 FPS for me. I need to do something.
Keep in mind I bought this 570 for $100 brand new so it's not like I have a lot invested in it. I can sell it used on Amazon for about $200 right now.
ETA: I know I have asked this before but never got a really definitive answer.

A ton..
Microstutter, heat and less OC headroom. Buy a 7950 or 7970 IMO.

Had a 7950. Not sure I want to go back. I know at the time it was driver issues thanks to AMD, but it really put me off.
On the other hand, I have noticed that some of the 7950s are down to $240 or so after rebates. I could grab two of those...hmmm...

Have one and have had it for 9 months, not issues and run everything at ultra at 1980. Adding a 2nd one in the next month or so.

Yea you got yours after I bought mine because I recommended it to you.
My issues were minor and mostly just on Far Cry 3 but I had to put my 560Ti back in just to finish FC3.

Oh yeah, I'd have to buy a new mobo for it too so that's a huge turn off

don't listen to them fly! that guy is obviously compensating for something.
btw my 7970 came in today but i had a little much to drink after work. plan is to keep pushing my 670 on witcher2 and infinite and come up with som real numbers and install the 7970 on monday.

That wasn't from this board, but you have to learn/accept that there are some on this board that are at another level when it comes to building. The last epeen contest humbled me, I though I had a great build and it is for today's games, but I can't touch the elite on here.

If he is then you have to say that about a few others here too.
