What's the problem with CF? Issues such as scaling, tearing etc are been resolved in new drivers. Besides, 7950 CF > single 7970 and is also more future proof. If budget is the problem, then you can also go for 7870 CF of 660 CF.

no man CF are never future proof options .... lets take that if u have a single powerful card let it be a 7970 ok ....and your friend is having a 7950 in CF and yes 7950 cf > single 7970 so at that time your friend is getting benifit of few frames but as future proofing is concerned ..... to beat your friend u add one more 7970 card and CF it after a year and now ur friend has no option to inscrease performance my grafix so as future proofing is concerned a single powerful card are the only way to go .....

Hmmm...

I had the exact notion thats why I went with 7970.If I had the money I would definitely have gone with 7970/7950 xfire.

You guys have forgotten abt the FX 8350 . Nowadays games have started to use more cores and are core hungry. OP you can go with 8350 and save some money .
AMD FX 8350
ASUS M5A99X Pro R2
Rest all same

Please answer the mobo query i dont want to start a new thread for it

D

This is what going in my mind..
MSI Z77 Mpower
Intel 3570k
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB x 2 1600Mhz
Corsair Hydro Series H100
now confused between 7950 cf , 7970 , asus gtx 670 direct cool

R

Get the gigabyte board.

Guys At this budget single card solution would be best. Don't sacrifice other components for it.

yes , but if u consider future proofing then how will CF help ????? :facepalm:

^ it will help to run games at better settings for a longer time span as compared to a single card. 7950cf >> single 7970. And it's coming in budget too. Still, if you want a single card solution, then get a 7970 with the biggest vram possible.

And hos is that possible?

For single card, get matrix or 680 ........

ask godoftheforbiddenlight for performance of 680(he has it)or google online

If OP buys a Single Card now and the same card is stopped after one or two year. OP will suffer...

And that will be a moment of :facepalm:

that would not happen as he must know it ?

Oh for god sake...what the hell are you guys fighting over. Every machine gets old even super computers and everyone knows it.

asus gtx 670 direct coolII

should i change something?

D

Get 680??

Get 680??

gtx 680 is not worthwile as it just performs 5%faster than 670 + big price gap.so in nvidia gpus gtx 670 is best choice

D

well he has budget and needs long lasting rig so 680 would last longer than 670 anyways.......

i think 7970 is better than 670 anyways (gotta check it)

yes hd 7970 is faster than 670

future proofing does not exist.

ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 690 4GB DR5

ASUS GRAPHICS CARD GTX TITAN 6GB DDR5

^^ Depends on your definition of future proofing. If you mean 6-7 years then definitely not but 2-3 years then YES.

^^Agree..

In my old pc I was using thermalright ultra 120 extreme on q6600 lga775.
Now Is there any way to reuse it on lga 1155?

Depends on the Cooler. If it supports LGA 1155 then yes if not then NO.

You cannot use cooler of one socket on another unless is comes with a socket retention kit.
