Hi Ajay,

How are you doing? I see you got rid of you 7970 Vapor-X. It's funny I'm in the midst of building another, this one was a bit hasty pulled together: -
i7-4930K
Asus RROG Rampage IV Formula
16 GB Micron/Crucial Tactical VLP ram
Seasonic 850W MII Bronze
Define R5
Dual 7970s Vapor-X


Thinking of eBaying the 7970s getting a single Asus R390 Strix. It (R390/RX 480/R9 280X) doesn't have the grunt in single card form. I like the GTX 1070 but seems to go a bit limp in The Ashes DX12 around the 60-70 mark as opposed to 90-100 fps at 1080P. For £400 quid that's a bit shoddy. Could get two 390x Vapor-X for £500 or 290x for £400 which should get me close enough to 1070 perf in DX11 and looking to the future (DX12) not sure how well DX12 explicit multi adapter support will work with regard to scaling and being supported so a bit hesitant to go for dual cards...There again it does open up the opportunity to double up when a single R390/RX 480/R9 280X can't cut it @1080P...
2 gen old CPU, overkill mobo, and old school cards. You want ot upgrade to barely newer GPU? Single, new GPU FTW man... no need for dual cards. Not worth the trouble it can cause, especially for those that a a bit green behind hte ears.
