1 x £250 GPU or 2 x £125 GPUs?

[Grandad_andy]

Morning all,
Just completing a new build and am now looking for a graphics card to complete.
I was wondering am I better off getting 1 card for around £250 or buying 2 for about £125 each and running them in crossfire / SLI?
Thanks
Andy
Also any recommendations for cards would be appreciated, cheers.

1 250 all day long. The more you can spend on a single card the better. My recommendation would be wait until the end of the month for AMD to release their 200-250 quid card, the RX 480. Apparently it's worth waiting for.

A single card all day long.

Either a new 390x or the new 480 (8Gb version) or 2nd hand 980 GTX

I would wait for the 480

Crossfire is a steaming pile right now, single GPU all the way.

Single card is normally always better as you won't suffer the issues from xfire or sli, you get more performance from 2 cards when they work which is often the main issues

I would wait til the end of the month for the AMD 480 to be revealed as for £250 it could be a beauty of a card
