Can you crossifre/sli with an i3 effectively

[Internet Swag]

Or does dual gpu result in a bottleneck?

[darkspeedy26]

depends on wich gpu you want to sli or crossfire i guess... what pricerange of gpu and cpu are you looking at?

please give us more information.

you could quad sli four 8800GTX graphics card with an i3 and you wont experience a bottle neck

I wanted to get the i3 3.7 ghz hashwell refresh and dual 7850

[jameshumphries47]

i cant see why that would cause a bottle neck, but if i was you i would spend the extra cash and buy an I5 

[Bagmup]

Save for an i5, or don't buy the other 7850.

I would like an i5, but in my country i5 is 320 dollars and i3 is 160 dollarw so it makes a big impact unless you want me to get AMD quad core, but first they must release a new cpu quad core for 200 dollars.

can't you import?

[Internet Swag]

Sorry I cant seem to quote you on my tablet.

yes I can import, but if I get a DOA I neee to pay 80 dollar to ship it back. Unless I order big, like a mobo and cpu and gpu I wont save much because my country has high taxs and import fee so ordering only a cpu would cost the same as buying it here.

newegg doesnt import to africa I like that website lol

but yeah I can save like 150 dollar if I import a cpu, mobo and gpu, but if 1 is Doa I am in trouble

Here's an i3-4xxx series CPU benchmarked with an R9 280x = 7970 = 7850's in crossfire.

Looking at this, I can barely see a difference between i3 and i5?
