So it's that time of year again, my dads bday, I was thinking about buying him some new video cards

He had crossfired 7970's and those were holding up pretty well even for current games, but 1 of the 7970's died recently, just outside the 2+1 year(CC) warranty period

So I was thinking about getting him two nvidia 980 ti's

Or saving some cash and getting him 1 amd, that can run crossfire with the 7970?, until Christmas

although I haven't heard him complain about running a single 7970...

Anyway I'd love suggestions, I was checking out tomshardware and they seem to say the Fury X is better for 4K gaming than the 980ti's but the Fury X's take up too much space with the radiators?

edit: oh right, it's also new video card time isn't it? blegh...maybe i should just get him something else -_-
