I don't see a single game that is unplayable with the 7970 GE. In fact, it performs solid enough to give a visually flawless performance in every single game... at a reasonable price I should add. So why, do they need to do something right now? They just need to finish fixing their frame latency drivers, then their original plan of using a smaller die size to keep prices down and competing in the high-end with dual GPU cards will be FULLY realized...that's how AMD has been playing it for a few years now. Nvidia should have always had the faster single GPU, but it took them until now to finally fix the thing. Everything thing is just back to normal...and I'm still going with performance/value. AMD has made all the right moves GPU wise, that's why they are in every new game system. Nvidia went with an insanely huge and expensive design that nets (Now Fully Realized) 15% more performance... and every game system developer told them no. AMD was wise to develop affordable GPUs, consumers now get great graphics on home game systems, tablets, MACs, and PCs at affordable prices.
Very soon, Crossfire is going to Actually work for the first time...ever...and 2 7950s costing $600 is going to outpace any $1K Nvidia setup. Nvidia wants to take the focus off multi-gpu setups because of this...because its finally going to be what it was suppose to be in the beginning. Now, if I was Nvida I would not have fixed or even suggested their was a fix for multi-gpu frame latencies. They kind of shot themselves in the foot here, because now AMD is already/going to fix it...and I've already got a big' ol power supply for running it. Kudos to Nvida. I mean they made a couple quick and dirty sales on their big boy Titan since everybody is scared of the frame latency problem with multi-gpu setups...but if the frame latency problem on multi gpu setups is getting fixed...then what's the point of buying a Titan or 780 when I can get ~150% or 175% their performance at 92% or 60% the cost (respectively) with crossfired 7950s when the driver gets fixed.
Of course at this moment, the driver isn't fixed and if you have 6 monitors to run then you probably can't wait to spend $ sensibly. You could have helped a kid out with his college tuition or paid someone to walk your dog but f-it, Nvidas been so good to you and is so hard up to make a sale go-ahead and give them the extra money, because i'm not going to... unless AMD truly can't fix their drivers, until then i'm giving AMD the benefit of the doubt.
P.S. Crossfire really sucks balls at the moment.
