I must admit, you have confused me a little, the thread title is asking what is the best graphics card to buy, but in your last post it looks like you have made your mind up to cross fire? lol.

If you do crossfire then I would recommend getting a better psu, a decent branded 850 watt would be good.

Actually I think I misread it, so you are looking to buy 1 7950 for now.

What is your budget? The 7950 is a good card, or the GTX 760.
If you want to spend a bit more then the GTX 770 or HD 7970.

I would recommend getting a better psu for any of those cards really.

I'd agree with Paul, an 850W PSU (I have a Corsair Gold Modular) and stretch to a GTX 770 for the GPU.

Also you never mentioned a budget, so you could just get an Nvidia Titan and be done with it lol.

Ya Huh !!! But isn`t a 690 supposed to be better ?

Lol, I got nearly $5000 in my savings account right now, but it is to make a final payment on my partners car Tomorrow, then we own it. I could buy a nice rig for that and tell her to walk to work, but I fear for my life

I was actually going to get a Titan but the 780 came out a couple of weeks before I ordered my new rig so I went with that instead. I'm glad I did now.

And now apparently they`re gonna come out with the 800 series Q1 2014

I don't even know why the hell is the GTX Titan more expensive than the GTX 690 if GTX Titan < GTX 690.

I may just have to open the wallet again then

On a serious note though, if there is a marked improvement in the 800 Series I'll probably upgrade and sell the 780 to offset the cost, but if the 780 is still performing the way it is now in a year's time then there'll be no need to bother.

I don't even know why the hell is the GTX Titan more expensive than the GTX 690 if GTX Titan < GTX 690.

It's simply because it is the fastest single GPU card (not to mention runs cooler, has less power consumption, and GPU Boost 2.0). And I think I've read somewhere that when you overclock the Titan, it surpasses the 690's performance.

And Paul, have you seen the crazy price drop for the HD 7990?
