True.

That's why I never recommend SLI 970s either. I personally think (whether this is correct or not you'd probably have to ask someone that knows more than me) that once you get so much horsepower with two cards (especially at higher resolutions) your VRAM is ultimately going to be the bottleneck. So I never recommend SLI/CF unless you're doing it to the highest end cards/cards with enough VRAM to be safe with.

What about besides Vram

Performance wise 2 R9 380X beat the r9 390, but  not all games support crossfire well so you may get less stable performance, worse some games don't support it at all.

Thats what I was thinking but it does have 4GB so i didnt think it would be bad

Single R9 390x due to drivers and less issues and power consumption/heat from the crossfire setups. Would be the same for SLI setups. :)

I know crossfire has never been stable.

On the contrary - ever since bridges were removed it's fine - it's even superior to SLI - ask @Prysin

don't you find it a bit ironic that nobody does crossfire reviews anymore? I guess amd and nvidia are going to start having to do their own. You're not the only one who wants to know.

That's a very good point, I agree.

Eh. I can max out VRAM on some current AAA titles with my 4 gigs. Most notably and noticeably GTA V. I think if you're buying something brand new you'd want to be 100% confident that it will last you a little while.

BS, I hit 4g modding Fallout 4 all the time. I can't read sorry. :lol:

 

OP, go with the 390x. Better performance in game where it matters.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

If you go Sapphire, as you should. Make sure you get the version with the back plate, same cost better performance. It's the only way to tell the first version from the second.
