I'm going to bang in a second 7950 and I'm just wondering if it will then become a bottleneck, it's an i7 2600. I know they are still pretty solid for a single card set-up but will it still hold up against the 2 GPU's?

lololol no to put this is words you can understand you could quad fire that 7970 and not have noticeable bottleneck.I'm going to bang in a second 7950 and I'm just wondering if it will then become a bottleneck, it's an i7 2600.

My i5-3550 isn't bottlenecking my CrossfireX 7950's. No way in hell will your i7-2600 cause a bottleneck.I'm going to bang in a second 7950 and I'm just wondering if it will then become a bottleneck, it's an i7 2600.

There are MSI 7950's selling for 229$ on Tigerdirect.com right now .http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=8078201&sku=M452-7952&SRCCODE=CANEM3016&cm_mmc=EML-_-CanadaMain-_-CANEM3016-_-email&utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=CANEM3016&cm_lm=mandella_octeus@hotmail.comOK cool, thank you. :D I just assumed as it has been a couple of years now it would at least slightly be showing its age in gaming performance. Guess not then! Extra 7950, new PSU and an SSD it is then. Cheers peeps.

Having said that It is a fraction of what we pay, may have to look into what it would cost to import one. Cheers for the heads up. ;)OK cool, thank you. :D I just assumed as it has been a couple of years now it would at least slightly be showing its age in gaming performance. Guess not then!
