Well, I am going all the way, and a 7970 (later two) matches a GTX 590 with a little bit of OC magic. So yeah, I'm already taking your advice.
Yeah, that was before I took out the 550 and installed the 590. Both cards ran all games at the highest settings 1920x1200. Go back five years and that wouldn't have happened. We're at a weird point in hardware because developers haven't started utilizing the heavy parts of DX11. At the time they actually do start using it (if they do, mobile is making huge fucking leaps and bounds), the 7k generation will be aging. It's one of those things you have to experience instead of simply looking at benches.


edit: don't get me wrong, the benches are right. I'm just telling you what I found when I asked myself what I can do with the thing now.
