Just get another one, if the price is really irresistable . laugh.gif  You can always sell both and get 290 if you found that CFX is not your cup of tea.

Really poisoning me ar mad.gif mad.gif cry.gif cry.gif

BTW, how much PSU wattage (safety range - not too overkilled) for my system if HD7870 CFx. Just OCed my CPU and GPU will leave it stock clock. my PSU can handle it? hmm.gif

Your current 750w is more than enough for 2x 7870.  hmm.gif

if count for its wattage, yes. it will be. but if calculate amp per rail, totally scare to handle second unit of Pitcairn XT hmm.gif

Buy that and sell at ebay for $890. tongue.gif

For those looking for performance but with tight budget (below 1k) I think its worth to buy. HD7970 GHz still relevant (for me at least)

May i know what CCC version is stable right now? 13.xx?

That is quite a steal imo. Green camp can only offer 760 at that price range.

If by "stable" mean WHQL, its 13.10. I'm currently using Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.4. Some guys reported Vsync didn't work since Beta 9.2 but i have no problem with it.. not sure it because i'm using RadeonPro.

is RadeonPro official link from AMD? Currently using 13.10 and now didn't play heavy game biggrin.gif

Worth to top up from 7970 dc2t to r9 290? Both under water and around rm600 to top up

Just keep ur 7970 DCII. Still reasonable performance on 1080p single display maxxed out game setting IMO

Running at 1200p @1000mhz
Bf4 ultra min 45-46 fps. R9-290 should be around 20% extra right?
*
I rather keep RM600 than upgrade for only 20% improvement (after OC)

If stock vs stock, not very huge improvement, better save ur RM600
