Help with CF

[Mayo.]

Hello! Can I crossfire 2 8gb XFX RX470 on a ab350m-ds3h v2 with 8gb of ram? Could it perform like a Vega 64/56/ rtx 2060? Should I get more ram or change the motherboard to a better one? Please, do not respond to me with things like it's not worth it, it isn't helpful.

No, the motherboard doesn't specify Crossfire compatibility.

Depends on what you're doing on the PC.

If it's gaming, it depends on how well (if at all) the game supports Crossfire.

 

Good support: on par with those videocards.

Bad/no support: much lower performance, possibly stutters.

Depends on what you do with your PC and what your full specs are. Also depends on what you are looking to spend and what you are missing now.

Usually a RAM + videocard upgrade is a much better option.

'it's not worth it'  is a perfectly valid response, especially when considering multi-GPU.

Here in Romania there are many SH online stores that sell one particular XFX RX470 with 8GB with 85 dollar +6 months warranty. Also, here you can even for this product 1 year extra warranty not even 10 dollars

This still doesn't change the fact that barely any games do crossfire support anymore and the ones that do there are only a few that do it well and don't make it seem like wasted money. Since your board does not support it there is no point in upgrading your motherboard and then getting another gpu when you could've just sold your rx470 gotten a better single card that will work in every game instead of like 5 and then also get a bit more ram.

 

That is the smartest option you can do that will work every time instead of only very occasionally.
