Gaming PC Build - £4000 Budget

Me, was pure jokes and highlighted would be made to buy ! Single card 90% of the time for gaming . Only worth if doing workloads having multiple cards :)

Crossfire works. Don't know how exactly AMD would not support Vega VII, when the original Vega 64 supports it pretty well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/8ylz2i/vega_64_crossfire_scaling_testing_in_24_games_5/
50% on average, which is pretty good, when taking into account it's tested across 24 games/applications and in some it doesn't scale, in others it scales up to 103.1%!

No point when Vega 64/ rtx 2080, Vega 7 and 2080ti can handle ultra wide 1440p fine and 4k with 2080ti .
And when it's DX12 is down to developer to suit out multicard which most don't, Unreal 4 doesn't support it nor unity .
Then it's up to Nvidia and amd to do support for DX11. They might list 4 games added per month with their patches but tens of tens of games are released on steam all without support .
I even listed 2x 4k monitors to go with one OP had as a far fetched idea, though fun, useless

You don't mean that - this is a must if you have the room. It will be for me when the kids have grown up and left home. I'm not allowed to commandeer another room until then. Stupid guests and their need for a room... :/


And, personally, i'm glad manufactures/developers are leaning more towards single card solutions. I never enjoyed my short lived time with sli - complete PITA. I know it's matured a lot over the years but as @orbitalwalsh has stated, very well, it's still a niche market to a degree - especially with some mainstream engines not supporting it.

This is extremely weird :( Am I the only person on this sad Planet who has always been positive towards Crossfire and supporting it?
Actually supporting Crossfire is easier than designing new GPU with the same corresponding scaling :confused:

It's just an opinion, @4K8KW10 (that was hard to type) on a pad - you're still entitled to yours, doesn't make your requirements, or even the technology, wrong/weird. But wouldn't you ideally prefer a single card solution?

I still do the very occasional build for the die hard duel card enthusiast - but sadly/gratefully (dependent on your take) the second card more often than not lies dormant in the machine. Either due to the lack of their ability to optimise it or the lack of developer support.

You have to remember that you're a relative expert in your field (PC geek/IT guru - add relevant tag) so the enthusiast build doesn't phase you or puzzle you when confronted with it. Most of my friends/family who have demanded it ultimately get overwhelmed if i'm not about to help if they hit problems - and i make sure i'm not about as it's a caveat that i put in the build, 'sort your own sli/crossfire software compatibility issues out!!!'

So much money wasted right there.
 
Don't worry @4K8KW10 AMD will get around to doing a chiplet designed single card GPU before Nvidia and Intel . This is were future will be along with CPU . Polaris isn't actually a bad chip, but Imagen it at 7nm and 4 if them linked . Would in theory be cheaper then 2080ti and just as powerful. Cost to make the chips would be a fraction of the giant 2080ti die ..
 
@4K8KW10 - you haven't walked into the sea with your pockets crammed full of Radeon cards have you?

Quickly scroll past lee's posts - he makes valid points but we've covered them already, tongue in cheek - you don't want to lock horns again - it's Saturday and the sun is out (and i'm working sifting through paperwork :/).

As above, keep the faith. AMD pulled it out the bag with Ryzen and may actually achieve the biblical equivalent of Jesus reborn in May/June. If they can eventually apply some of that magic to their GFX R&D department we'll all be happy to see nVidia finally, desperately, rallying around their share prices as their forced to drop their ridiculous price structure.
