El_Capitan Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Is it faster then your 580GTX SLI is what I want to know. No, it doesn't even beat my GTX 570's in SLI with a 2600K at 4.8Ghz for half the price. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1068042 Once he gets a higher overclock and a second 7970 (or most likely, a 7990), then it'll pwn... or run the 3DMark benchmark at higher resolutions.

NikoDG Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Can you crossfire a 7970 with a 7990? I mean the 7990 is basically 2x 7970 so you'd think it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it'd be tri-fire, just like any other set-up of 6990 + 6970, or 5970 + 5870. However, usually the dual-gpu cards don't get as fast an overclock.

NikoDG Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I know that If you put an 7990 and 7979 together and ended up with normal Crossfire it'd be no gain Yeah, single GPU's OC better, but a dual GPU usually takes less power and less $$$ than two separate cards, doesn't it?

Everyone knows 3D Mark 11 favours Nvidia, but P10600 is not bad considering Im only at 4GHz on my 3930k while you are at 4.8GHz . Once I get to 5GHz, it should be a couple hundred points which is very good for Nvidia favoured bench. Once drivers mature, it'll be even better - you cant compare drivers that have been maturing for over a year to ones just released for the card.
