Asus HD 7790 Crossfire

[Mainak23]

Hi friends..

I am thinking about Asus HD 7790 Crossfire setup..

How will be the performance of this crossfire? is there will be any problem or any issue?

Appreciate any kind of help..

No.. Better get HD 7950/GTX 660 Ti
even if you want to crossfire, you will need X8/X8 Compatible mobo for optimal performance

I have a Asus Crosshair V Formula And a Corsair HX 650...is not CF performance of HD 7790 will outperform a GTX 660ti?

Having a single GPU over 2 crossfired weaker GPUs that give almost identical performance is always a better option
GTX 660 Ti is a tried and tested GPU.. It beats HD 7950 boost in some benchmarks
Grab it from Flipkart for 15.5k ASAP

nope buddy its not available for 15.5 k and also it doesn't beat 7950.its performance is close to 7870 and in India you can get 7870 at a lower price than 660Ti.so its better to go with 7870 at 17-18k or else go with 7950.

7790 CF can be a great VFM, but the problems that you will face will mar the experience-> the drivers and microstuttering...
+1 for 7950/7870.

Thanks for the suggestions ..i am thinking about going for HD 7870 for 16k..

Better spend more 2k and ge the XT version. You will get DmC and Bioshock infinite too. So you're getting a 18k value at 16k, and as I have heard it, it is a "stripped down" version of 7950

Yes it is stripped down version of HD 7950 Tahiti..is it a good deal to spend extra 2k for 7870 XT?

can't be better depending on the price HD7870 / HD7870 XT ( Tahiti LE ) and HD 7950 .. all of them are good VFM deal and if for some some reason you can't find HD7870 Xt at ~18k opt for HD7870 DC2 from Asus bt make sure the price is ~16k

Just verified the price of HD 7870 XT in Vedant Computer Kolkata, the current price for the Sapphire model is 16.6K + 4% vat = 17.3K. If you guys are interested then get it from them by ordering through call. I guess it is the cheapest price for that XT card.

Thanks a lot for the info .. Now HD 7870 XT looks more VFM compared to HD7870.
