R9 380X Crossfire?

[BigBig5]

I am looking at to get 2 new gpu's. I want to know the performance of the R9 380X Crossfire because I haven't seen any yet?

Don't go out for 2x GPU's, SLI/X-fire is really for people looking for more power down the line eg. I bought my first 970 November 2014 and added the second in Nov 15.

 

For the price of 2x 380X you could get a Fury, Nano or 980 and wouldn't have to deal with the extra heat, extra power consumption and problems with scaling etc. You could also then add another of these cards later down the line

Don't buy two gpus off the bat, unless they're already the top end gpus (980ti, Fury X, etc)

You'll almost always get a better experience buying the single more powerful gpu as opposed to two.

 

That being said, for the price of two 380x's you could get a sapphire Fury tri-x/nitro, which is an amazing gpu. Not to mention you can save around 60$ doing that, which you can then turn around and spend on something like a new 250gb ssd, which is always a fun investment.

get Nano or 980

for nearly the same price

 

trust me, you will be more happy with one of those

unless you want to be badass, because having 2 cards does look badass

I think I will get 2 980s in sli or wait in till new gpu's come out later this year. I will be doing triple gaming on LG 25UM56-P 25" Ultrawide 2560 x 1080 (2K) overclocked at 75hz.
