If you already have the PSU to handle it and can find a 7950 on eBay (or from Bruce) for $200 or less, then adding a 7950 for crossfire would be the easiest and most economical way to go. Otherwise, you'd be spending more for a new single card, and even a 780 ti is beat by crossfire 7950s at stock.
IDK man, look at 3DMark results. Pretty damn close with TIs winning at stock and OCs.
I agree, would cost more than buying a 2nd 7950. Then again, i'm all for a 1 card solution which beats 2 cards solutions nearly everytime, stock or OC.

I'm looking for a tiny enclosure to build a PFSense router with a spare 1155 iTX and Celeron.
Tons of tiny iTX cases I like are out there but none have an expansion slot for my 2way Intel NIC to fit. Might end up just purchasing a NUC with 2xIntel NICs on board.

I've thought about doing it too. Actually, I was going to run a freeNAS/PfSense set up, but haven't really felt like putting the effort into it.

I have FreeNAS in a VM on my HS and it works great. My ASUS AC66U router has been making me nervous with all the reported security issues. Yes I could flash Tomato or something but it gave me trouble during the set up, so just gave up.

Run DD-WRT. I've been running it for years, and have never had a problem.

Bruce your shtt is still coming, you just need to deal with my shaddy-ness sometimes. I'm random... but will follow through in the end.

Found this but want to use a Celeron/Pentinum/i3 in the build, not that shtt CPU.

That's not bad at all. Aren't the Atoms soldered to the motherboard, though?

Yea, not a LGA socket.

Yeah, the 780 Ti or 290x would be the highly preferable upgrade option, just expensive. I'm waiting for a 1-GPU solution to beat my two 7970s by at least 50% before I'm ready to upgrade.

Almost had a XFX 290x for $330 on ebay before somebody sniped it at the last minute for 335. Sad face.

I know its not single GPU, but the 295x2 is well over 50% better

1 card solutions are so nice. I remember running my single 780 Lightning last year while upgrading the main rig and noticing that slight stutter which comes with SLi/CFx being totally removed. The experienced felt almost smoother at times compared to the old TITAN set up before getting TIs.
