Haha, that's sort of how I ended up with the second HD 7970. I sort of complained that I couldn't get 60 FPS in Bioshock Infinite, and she just caved. But then after getting CFX I couldn't stop complaining about microstutter and profile issues with the niche games I play, and she pretty much told me to go die in a fire. (Course then I ended up with SLI GTX 660 Tis and that was another mixed bag. Woof.)
But, she didn't even bat an eye when I had an identity crisis after the Fury X reviews and I came home with 2x 290X Ref refurbs and 2x Corsair water brackets. Haha.
I personally don't think I can go back to multi-GPU. The games I play too often don't have the right support. And I'm so sensitive to microstutter it seems that it just sets me off like a canon.
I remember when frame variance was all the hype around here and people were posting their logs. I posted mine and it was clear as day that microstutter was plaguing my system. Here is to hoping DX12 does actually address this issue.
Ya see I'm not a heavy gamer at all. But I'm a luxury person I can't game at console level.
I like crossfire but without support for downsampling from above 4k what's the point. Which again brings me to why did they tease 8k infinite shots if the card is not capable of 8k? That's extremely misleading.
This is part of the reason I'm upset it's not that infinite is poor perf at 8k.... Its that there isn't a way for me to play infinite at 8k period.
So I just can't see myself wanting cards that limit me when the 900 series doesn't limit crucial features. At this point, I'm saying downsampling should be a given on your cards. The fact the fury line up didn't support the same support nvidia did is bad. It's a great feature support it. Out of all the recent features it's the best one and nvidia made sure to implement it in a flexible manner. Amd has made it so even the 390x crossfire is stuck at 1800p while the 980 is free to do whatever.
You've been through way too many cards for me! But I'm a slow gamer I can get some use out of my cards. South Park, some wii games, and batman arkham origins are on my next up list though after the Witcher 2. I just want 4k downsampling capabilities even now. Not even having the option bugs me to no end lol.
