Posted July 17, 2016 Is it true that 2 rx 480 outperform a single gtx 1080? In that case is is worth crossfiring? Thx in advanced. Also let me hear your complete oppinion on what should I get and why :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 17, 2016 I'd say just go for a 1070 or 1080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 17, 2016 Two 480s are about the same as a 1070. And no, a single GPU is always better than multi-GPU.

Posted July 17, 2016 The thing with multi-GPU setups is that unless you're shooting for the top-end setup, anything lower is just going to cost more, use more power, and dump more heat for basically similar if not slightly more performance. Not to mention not every game greatly benefits from it and then you have to deal with microstuttering. So really, the only pros to going multi GPU is increased performance. And there's a laundry list of cons. It's only viable if you're trying to aim for an uber build. I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 1070s will perform nearly twice as well as a single 1080 due to them being very nearly the same GPU to begin with -- especially if early reports of Dx12 multi GPU scaling are accurate.

The whole point of the SLI vs single card debate is for those people that are deciding between two budget cards or one high end card. Two high end vs one high end is kinda stupid.

Two high end vs one high end is kinda stupid. Except it isn't. It should be. The advice should be "when the two cards perform the same as the one card, or there is a small difference between them, go with the single card." But people extend this to stupid cases where one of the cards is a barely cut down version of the other, such as when people are looking at 1070 SLI vs 1080 SLI, or Fury CF vs Fury X CF. I would say it is especially nonsensical in the case of the 1070 though. For that little bit extra you get for having the full GP104 you're talking about a price difference corresponding with a third 1070, at least in the UK. This is assuming the cheapest £600 1080s, too. As @Overkilled mentions below, 1080s come a lot more expensive than this. Whether or not three-way SLI makes sense isn't the point, what is the point is that its an extreme price difference for a barely measurable difference. The only time people see sense is in the case of the 980 Ti/Titan X, and that's only because the 980 Ti tends to overclock better due to better cooling, and that people have had "don't buy Titans" drilled into their heads.
