They abandoned the DLP because it was as heavy as a television. They tried LCD panels, but it had horribly noticeable banding due to how the backlights were set up along the curve. LED might have alleviated that.Quote:

Question:
I currently have a ATI 7850 as my current GPU. I see the new r9 series have come out, at the pricey cost of roughly 400~ for one of the "better" models like the R9 280x.
I was wondering if it'd rather be worth getting the R9 280x or simiply another 7850 to run in crossfire with. I'm assuming if I got the 7850 and run it in crossfire, by the time I can't really play games on ultra anymore it'd be time to upgrade and the R9 series will already be much lower than what it is now. But is CrossFire worth it? I'm mainly considering that option since I have a triple monitor setup now.
From what I recall. the 280X is effectively a re-badged card so I'm not sure you'll get that much of a big difference.
280x is just a 7970 with a small overclock but it's still a fast card for the price. All the higher end AMD gpus have jacked up prices thanks to the litecoin / altcoin miners right now so maybe you should wait a month or two.
Yeah I plan on waiting a few months - but if I did crossfire it'd be with just two 7850's, and I'm assuming it'd be with the bridge (my mobo does support all this, and also just has two pci-e slots anyway)
I currently run trip monitors how you explained NneYaTano, I'm just thinking it'd be nice for the extra graphical power now, and that I might be able to actually play games decently across all 3 monitors if I wanted too. Right now my FPS gets down pretty low (in the teens, sometimes when I'm lucky 20's) when I try, I'm assuming two GPU's will help increase the power for that.
It really depends on what game you want to play with the cards. Support comes and goes as games get updated, unfortunately. For example EA broke BF4's SLI support with a previous patch because they suck I guess??
