Any rx 480 crossfire reviews up yet?

[BlackXbonE]

you dont need any

if you can afford two 480s then you can afford to buy a single more powerful GPU which is a much better choice

Can you PLEASE follow the topic. I only wanted to know if there were any reviews up, and i didnt want to hear the same one-better-card-over-two-cheaper-thing you read in pretty much EVERY gpu thread/review over and over again.

However, since I have a freesync monitor i wont go nvidia anytime soon - but i want to upgrade since my single 390x seems to struggle a bit and with vega being still in the more or less distant future rx 480 x-fire would be a valid upgrade for me i guess.

Thanks for the only usefull reply so far  In games with x-fire working the rx 480 seems to be just under the 1080 which is really impressive since it's like a 3rd of the price. Might consider that.

Two 8g reference 480s cost 480 dollars US.

 

Your math is off.

then why would you do rx480 crossfire if you already have a 390x which is the same or better than a 480???

uses some sense!

get a used 390x for cheap, or wait for better AMD cards, or buy a 1070/1080 and use it without freesync

I fear my psu wont do for 2 390x' (or will it? 850W bronze) and the powerconsumption frightens me aswell.

Id get at least 300€ for my card, so effectively i would only pay for less than a 480 (269€ atm.). 

Ofcourse I would wait for aftermarket coolers. 

And no - I love freesync, so no nvdia for me, even if i wanted to.

480 is 269€, cheapest 1080 ref is 714€ - still makes a ratio of 2.65, definitely closer to 3 than to 2.

850W is more than enough

the bronze rating doesnt affect that

idk where you think anyone would pay 300e for a 390x, but whatever

and if you're waiting for aftermarket coolers you may as well wait for the 490, or try to buy a used fury/fury X which is still a lot better than a 480, and you would only need 1

You need two to crossfire...

[Hunter-97-G]

Hardware Unboxed did a review. At 1440p maxed out on CF optimized titles the CF 480 were 14% faster on average than the 1070, and 9% slower than the 1080.

 

Now, I would just buy a single GTX 1070 (it'll cost the same or even less). 14% of extra perf at best is not worthy if you take into consideration power consumption, poor CF scaling in other titles, heat and space on your PC.

... 2 x 269 = 538... there is still 0.65 rx 480s to 714

Sure that 850w is enought? I have asked that before and most said that i needed an a bit stronger psu - since i ocd my 4790k to 4.7 ghz aswell. All reviews i habe seen also use at least 1000w for 390x cf.  

And yes, I would definitely get to sell mine for 300e. New ones are still at 350.

 

However, if my psu really happens to be capable of 2 390x' i would consider that ober anything else.

More than enough. I've seen a guy run two R9 290Xs on a 650W PSU. You should still have plenty of headroom under full load and with a heavy overclock.

650w you say? well then, i guess a second 390x it will be. Thx for replying!

this is from the wall

that means the actual power drawn from the PSU is about 90% of this

so less than 700W
