Well I just picked up dual HD7950s and FX8350 and a Gigabyte UD7 AM3+ mobo. All in AMD!

Will probably sell my GTX 670s SLI/3570k rig after I do a benchmark shootout between the two...screw you Nvidia and Intel, AMD needs my money. :)

I'm rather curious to see in eyefinity how FX 8350+7950s does VS 8350 + GTX 670s vs 3570k + 7950s VS 3570k + GTX 670s.

If anything, you shouldn't notice much difference between CPU's, I didn't notice much when moving from an AMD FX to a Core i7 3930K when gaming in Eyefinity.
At eyefinity resolutions you are ALWAYS GPU limited first and foremost, so if you ever want big gains, look at the GPU's.

Also hope you don't run into stutter, I ended up going Tri-Fire to get around that. :)

Yeah I realized this a while ago when I picked up GTX 670s and put them in to SLI in a Phenom II 965 rig first and then found a quad SLI EVGA z77 mobo for sale for 79 bucks and built a 3570k rig. In synthetics 3570k was killing the phenom rig however in eyefinity there was less than 10% performance difference.

I actually did some very interesting benchmarks last night using 3 diffrent CPUs and a 7950. Will post my findings soon...

As far as microstuttering, we shall see. I have a gigabyte UD7 mobo which is probably the best AM3+ mobo right now. 4 way SLI/crossfire... if another card is needed, so be it. :)
