How does this build sound?

[orcanice]

GPUs: 3x r9 380 (Allready have)

PSU: XFX 1250W (80+ gold) (Allready have)

CPU: i7-6850k (Not ordered yet)

Motherboard: ASUS x99-DELUXE ii (Not ordered yet)

Ram: 16gb ddr4 3200mhs (Not ordered yet)

Harddrive: 256gb m.2 samsung 950 pro (Not ordered yet)

 

Will it work? or should i change any of the parts?

 

[orcanice]

not really, but after what i know i had to go for a 40 lane one if i wanted to use 3 gpus and an m.2

The R9 380 only supports Crossfire up to 2 cards.

[Energycore]

Weird.

 

3 380s in Crossfire? Not just this

But also Crossfire scaling gets quite a bit worse over 2.

 

If I was you, I would spend less on the SSD, mobo and CPU, then get a 1070, 2 390/390Xs or similar.

Nah gonna be paperweight ^^

 

Couldn't really find anything about max 2 cards on the manufactory site

Scroll down and click R9 300 series specs, you'll see that ^

can i still add the last card to the pc but just run 2 of them in CF? cuz then i just can use the last card for my spare monitors + tv

Yeah but it would be kinda pointless as it would give almost no performance increase and it would kick out more heat, just sell the third one.

Thats fine for me. but back to the other parts? would they work fine together + be a little future proof?

They'll work together fine, and that 6850k is definitely somewhat futureproof.

If he wanted to run a second display, or just a few others for webpages while gaming, it would remove the performance hit. 

 

EDIT: JUST LOADED THOSE TWO COMMENTS THAT SAY EXACTLY THIS

That performance hit would only lose him like 0.5fps.

 

The extra heat and power isn't worth it.

Hasn't been my SLI / CF experience. 

Because the 380 can't CF three cards.

I don't get it. Of course not, but I usually have a dual GPU SLI/CF with a second card for a second monitor due to the performance hits I've observed.

Unless he's running three 4k displays (which he shouldn't with 380s) there will be little to no performance drop.

[MoonlightSylv]

Just now, rrubberr said:

I'm running 4k + 1080p and I've experienced pretty bad performance drops.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you play on the Titan Z that's most likely due to not all games supporting SLI.

 

But whatever, think what you will.

Wow, I've been over this before today, so I'll just copy/paste from the last time I explained this.

 

" I don't see how what GPU's I currently have relate to it at all. I've used 660 ti's, I've used 7990's, I've used a single Titan Z. All of them were the same. They provided a satisfactory boost in performance, and not once did I loose a limb or have a seizure. SLI is SLI and CFX is CFX. The system is the same no matter how much you choose to pay, save for dual core boards. "

Also what does that have to do with what we're talking about?

See, the issue with that is that you're pretending I've never used the system

?

 

You've lost me pirate, idfk what you're going on about anymore.

Not all games support SLI/CF it's a fact, does that mean SLI/CF is a bad idea? No, because I never said that.

The issue is that you completely dismiss one thing with absolutely no justification. Again, that's not meant to sound aggressive.

I've never personally experienced a performance drop going from 1 all the way to 3 monitors on the same GPU.

Another thing the OP could do is sell the card for $200-250 and buy a cheap card to drive any other displays, but OP might want to run some tests since he already has all three of the cards anyways.

im too lazy to try to sell it. then i always have a spare card if im going to build a mini rig or a rig for lans or something. But another question, since the card almost has the same functions as the cards that supports 4-way, couldn't it be unlock able by doing a BIOS mod?.. And ofcause if we go back to my first post. all i have to know is if the motherboard and cpu is kinda furture proof choises?
