So I'm planning a new rig to replace my current prehistoric setup.
I will be running triple 24 inchers at 5760x1200.
With those little details out of the way, the choices that best suit my budget are either a pair of 7950's (most likely Sapphire 950mhz OC edition with 2 fans) or GTX 670 SLI (Probably Gigabyte Windforce cards).
Now I know the general sentiments on this forum is that 670 > 7950 but keep in my mind they don't cost the same where I live. A pair of 7950's will cost me 1040$ whereas a pair of 670's 1200$. I can afford either but obviously I'd like to keep costs down as much as possible.
Another big thing to consider is how Eyefinity fares against Surround. From what I know AMD seems to have better multi monitor support but I hear Nvidia has done a lot to step up their game in that department lately. And then there is the all too familiar driver issue, now I've used AMD before and in fact am using a 4870 as we speak and have never had any issue with AMD but I also never ran a dual GPU setup.
So with all things considered what do you guys think would be the better choice?
