7870 Tahiti Crossfire or Gtx 770

[Icekube]

Hey all

I'm about to order parts for my new Haswell rig and I'm torn on which graphics option to go for a new Gtx 770 (£340) or a 7870 Tahiti crossfire (£340) setup to replace my old Gtx 570.

I only use my pc for gaming and use 1920 x 1080 res and realistically want to have a setup that'll cover me for the next 2 - 3 years.

All advice welcome

i would go for the 7870 and you'll can sell the codes that you don't use.

xfx 7870 LE is 164.99 on aria

total 329.98 + 8 game codes

MSI Twin FrozR GeForce GTX 770 is 329.98 also on aria

so same price (as yours) but 8 codes you can sell

I agree with AMDFTW. Crossfire is pretty fooked atm, though they say they'll be fixing that end of July. I'd personally always pick the single GPU set up, as you can upgrade to another one later on

The 7870's will be far quicker.
At the same time, the frametime issue basically means crossfire is unusable right now.
If you trust AMD to fix the issue as they said, go for the 7870's since they will be faster, if not and you want less headaches, go for the 770
