    Probably not worth the price tag at all.

    You would want to be running extreme resolutions on multi monitor setups or a 4k tv to make any use of it.

    How much is it anyway? You could probably buy 3 x 7970's and run them in crossfire for around the same money.

    I would agree with you on that . You could crossfire 2 7970's and use the change for an SSD . To me that is a card for people who love to brag about their e peen .
