So I was wondering, with the prices of RX480 coming down a bit, would it be worth getting another one for crossfire? Or should I just sell it when vega comes out and just have one single card?

Depends on what game you play and at what resolution

But the prices of the GTX 1080 are collapsing though...


Still, I'd love to have a second RX 480, just for fun... But I feel like it wouldn't be very reasonnable...

Well the thing is even if I get a 1080 I'd have to sell my 480 which probably not the best time for that :/ I'm probably most concerned about gpu scaling on most games, now and in the future

It depends, if you can get one under £150 than yes, or a remake like asus for under £200

Check if the games you like are coded well for crossfire, if they are you could go that way, if they aren't you'll either have to deal with issues or single card performance, the general rule is that it's always better to have a single card then multiple

Witcher 3 in crossfire is horrible. The second gpu scales well, but frame times make the game unplayable. GTA 5 works well with crossfire. Not sure about the other games. I'd wait for Vega.
