Two 1060's at £200 each vs one 1080 at £450?

[WhereHere1]

The title says it all

You can't sli 1060s so I'd get the 1080.

 

[Minibiker]

You can't sli 1060s so I'd get the 1080.

That's what I thought as I was considering it, Unless OP knows different. I'm interested.........

 

[smogsy]

pointless anyway, Even ok Sli scaling the 1080 should be ahead then games without SLI +Extra power draw not worth it

 

[Minstadave]

Always, always go with the single most powerful GPU.

+1

I didn't think SLI was supported on 1060s.

I'd choose the 1080 either way to be honest.

It's a shame but it seem's dual card gaming is more hassle than it's worth lately.
MGPU's are slowly going the way of the Dinosaurs.

Get the 2 1060's, I'd like to see how it turns out

2 GPU's for gaming has always been extremely poor in terms of value for money. Especially if there is a faster card out there.

 

[LeMson]

Just buy a 1080

 

[GWANGY]

plus, where are you seeing 1060's at £200 prices are wild becoz of mining

Has sli/crossfire a lower end card ever make economical sense? I suppose if you only bought one originally and then could get another cheap later on maybe.

I don't think it has. Especially when a lot of games don't even recognise the second card so just ignore it.

The most pointless thing ever invented was crossfire and SLI imo. Sure if you buy 1 card then another 2-3 years later second hand for cheap. but why not just sell it and buy another faster card instead using the same money?

 

[GWANGY]

Wot about APU and crossfire? I know its pretty thin potatoes compared to a 1080ti , buts its all some people can afford

 

[maonayze]

A 1070 would outperform it. A 1070 outperforms 2x RX 480 whilst being cheaper.

Not anywhere I have seen benches lately. 2X480s were neck and neck (Depending on games) with a 1080 and beating it in DX12 games the last time I saw any benches. I havent seen anywhere that has contradicted that, unless you know different and have a link.

The Bad -

Occasional stuttering


Thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to smooth gameplay

 

[Kurgen]

there is no SLI on 1060 so unless you have 2 pcs , pointless

 

[darket]

It can, but only in game coded for multi gpu , so that pretty much limits you to ashes of the singularity, which is a dreadful pile of cack anyway.
