Hi,
Now that you can get a 7990 for $550 and I'm still working with a 5850, I'm really thinking about buying one, but ...
I've heard a lot of horror stories and since many of these things are hard to really verify, I'm gonna try asking you 7990 owners (and maybe ex-owners).
Have the latest beta drivers truly and absolutely resolved crossfire frame drops, runt frames, microstutters and whatever else there is?
What happens if a game does not support crossfire, i read you can't disable the 2nd gpu, so how does that work?
What other little annoyances have you experienced that I should know? Tell me anything you can think of please.
The 5800 series had an annoying screen flicker bug for example.
So basically tell me why i shouldn't buy a 7990 ...
I kinda want to buy a 290X, but looking at the price/performance it seems like such a good deal to get the 7990.
