Tom's did a blind test between 690 and 7990 to see which had a perceived smoother experience. This was done after the new AMD drivers:

Not very encouraging

Not once did we have a round head our way. All of our kills were surprises. So outstanding

Second saturday of every month. Search louisiana surplus auction the week of the auction and you can view pics of the items and the auction item booklet

Did you have anyone bidding against you?
Yea, but I don't think anyone knew how nice these things are. The power brick is $100 though

If it works though... I just got a $1000+ monitor for $200
And then I'll really need to upgrade to a 7970 or 7990 to get decent frames at 1600p

This sounds like fanboy stuff but I rather have 1 780 vs 7990 tbh.
nVidia IMO gives a better experience.

Just sell me your 780 for super duper cheap so I can afford to get a second one sooner than later and SLI

I wouldn't recommend buying a dual GPU card of any brand. It's essentially the same as getting a crossfire/SLI setup right off the bat. Much better to put that money into the latest and greatest single-GPU card you can afford, unless you're just going for epeen of course. Even still, just wait for AMD to once again release better/cheaper cards this month (hopefully).

Might pull the trigger on this: LINK

I would usually get the best single card option, but to drive this hopeful working 1600p monitor I'm going to need the horsepower of 2 7970s, and since I'm on itx I'll have to use a dual gpu card.
I think the new series is supposed to come out late october, but I'm inpatient and want to WC a 7990

But a 7990 is a triple slot card. Most ITX cases only have room for dual slot cards.
