Choosing 2x8970m or 1x780m.

Firstly I want to say hello because it's my first post here.

I have problem to choose between crosfire 8970 or one 780m in p370sm. Here where i live(Poland), 780m cost 100 euro( about 130 $) cheaper than dual radeon 8970m. I have question to especially radeon(8970/7970) owners: does crossfire works well and how many titles which you have use it. I saw notes in catalyst beta drivers and i think they support less games than SLI( i'm waiting especially for assasin 4, watch dogs and the witcher 3),but maybe im wrong. If i would buy 780m i will add second 780m in next 3-4 months. I dunno it is worth the price, but it will be my hardcore gaming machine( most expensive computer that i bought ever) and i don't want problems with drivers and other stuff.

Thanks for answers.

 

I would go the single 780m route. With the dual 8970s you can't go faster, but with the 780m, you can always add another 780m to extend the life. As you said it is a expensive purchase, so I would expect you want it to last a long time. And you may not need to add a second card for much longer than the 3-4 months. Have you priced the second 780m for your own reference? As for it being worth the price, money means different things to different people. Some have no problem buying a new laptop every three years, others have to wait much longer.

 

Thx for help. I purchased p375sm with 780m. I will give an opinion or maybe mini review about this laptop when it comes.
