Dual crossfire GPU's ?

[Genova1970]

I am looking to change graphics card and looking at getting a dual crossfire setup..
Anyone out there can give me an idea what would be a nice setup, doesn't have to be brand new cards, I am looking at spending around £400-£500.

Thanks for any help

Quick question: Why dual GPUs? In general they give a worse experience with either poor scaling (so two isn't much faster than one) or have other problems such as stutter or whatever.

If you were beyond the limits of buying a single card then it can make sense - but at your budget why not just get one fast card?

RX 480, reference 219£ each, or custom sapphire nitro 480 for 249£ each, 8GB memory, should fit right in your budget, overall performance should be around GTX 1080

Crossfire can be a pain in the rear. Spending your budget on a powerful single card will give you a better experience overall IMO.

I just thought having the 2 would give better performance than a single, if not then what's a nice card for around that price ?

It can be all down to the game developers if sli or crossfire works well, what res you gaming at ?

At that price range you'd be looking at a 1070. Go for whichever one takes your fancy as they all perform mostly the same.

No point at all in having 2 GPU's for that Resolution..

Go for the best single GPU that within your budget...(A GTX 1070 would be the one I would recommend )

What PC case do you have ?
also does your monitor support FREE-SYNC ? (As that could change the GPU's we recommend )

1070 for the best balls out performance in your price range.

But, I'll second the above, if you don't have a FreeSync/G-Sync monitor, I'd take a 480 and a new monitor for the same outlay as a 1070, it will give you a fantastic buttery smooth tear free gaming experience that far outweighs the higher fps a 1070 would provide.
