Or get another HD5870?
Nah that'd be a waste of money.

HD7950s are cheap these days and you get double the performance!
Oh my god! Yeah looking on eBay they're usually £100-150 which is extremely cheap considering when they came out 2 years ago they were like £350 or more? I think I paid £100 for my 5870 in 2012 used.
But still, I'm not going to upgrade because I barely ever play games so the 5870 is fine. And if I did upgrade I'd go with NVIDIA for CUDA so that Premiere Pro runs a bit better on my system.
But it does show how quickly technology depreciates. I wonder how much my 5870 is worth today. Probably next to nothing.

Well, this will be my score I'll submit to you, I'll send you a PM instead.
GPU-z didn't work out that well for the R9 280X, it has been clocked at 1100/1500, the HD 7950 like you can see on the picture features a clockspeeds of 1075/1440MHz

Just stock volts due to the very mild overclocking.
The i7s max volt is shown on the picture.
Anyway, I only needed 1.275v for a 4.5GHz overclock... a 4.6GHz oc required much more unexpectedly. 4.8GHz even required 1.49v, which is higher than I thought it to be.
Overall, temperatures are very good, ranging from 59 to 66 on the current 4.6GHz overclock. Room temperature is around 24 degrees. Used cooler is the new Scythe Mugen MAX.

I needed 3 HD 7950's with a little overclock to beat your score from 2 780Ti's
Well, it's done anyway.
2 R9 280X's coupled with 1 HD 7950 results in 3x HD 7950 performance.
If my mobo allowed a 8x/8x/8x or whatever better than 8x/4x/4x. The difference between 2 and 3 cards would have been bigger.
The i7 is just at his stock clocks.

Of course I couldn't stay behind on a tread made by Okedokey, so here is my submission, but just stock cards, and not the highest overclock on my cpu.

All i can say is do you have a 4th card Smileman?
anyway thought id have a go, not expecting to beat 3 cards or maybe scrape below or after the 2x 780ti's. Running i7 3770k at 4.9ghz and 2x GTX 980's in SLI running 4000mhz memory and 1471mhz on the boost speed. could have gone for 1500mhz but kept crashing 3/4 way through. Could have gone for more but im happy with that.
Anyway Enjoy
