    Upgrade from 7970 + two 7950 tri fire to R9 290 cf

    My 7970 is out of warrant and one of my 7950s is almost there. I found someone who is going to buy all three for 850. So would two R9 290 give similar or better performance? I mostly play BF4.

    I have a second 5850 on the way and I want to have one plug from each 12v rail on each card. I am guessing that the two pci express connectors are already on separate rails but I couldn't find a diagram any where showing what rails the molex connectors where on. I already have 2 molex to pci...
