R9 Fury X, or crossfire RX 480 8GB?

[Minstadave]

I have got two Asus RX 480s Dual OC 4gb coming to me soon to be put in crossfire, they were £150.00 each I had to!

If you've never gone crossfire before you'll soon understand why no one bothers.

You will see shortly

Some games - no Xfire support - ever
Other games - wait months for Xfire support, often still with flickering or performance issues
Yet more games - poor scaling/stuttering/flickering

It's a pile of horse dung. I would gladly just pay the extra.

Always go with one card instead of two..

Less heat, power and noise!

Most importantly, less grey hair and problems..

I wouldn't go for either. 1070 would be a better buy imo, no headaches with game support and no lack of VRAM

And you will magically break nearly all of your games so that they don't even work properly.

If you can get a FuryX for £200 or less then definitely get that.

x2 480s is kinda pointless as they'll get super hot and loud. If you're then going to buy blocks for them, with the combined cost you may aswell just got for a 1070/1080.
