GPU Selection Assistance

[RagingTyphoon]

This is my build so far, I need advice on a GPU. I want to run a SLI or Crossfire setup, my budget is $1200 for the GPU's. I want to be able to run any game on Max settings and I want to be VR ready. I know there are several cards that can do that by themselves, however I have never done a dual GPU build and I want to. I have no preference AMD or NVidia, I just want to be able to get the most visuals for my new Gaming PC.

dual 1080 is your best option

[Doh007]

maybe 2 gtx 1070's with water cooling

[MVPernula]

I'd recommend one good card over SLI any day, speaking as a former SLI owner.

 

I would stretch to 2 GTX 1080's or get 2 1070's and save a bit of money.

Otherwise get a GTX Titan XP?

yea this is the right idea but if you still want dual 1080's or 1070's you going to need the high bandwidth SLI bridge other SLI bridges dont cut it with these new cards

Yeah but considering his budget is about 1200$ and the 1070's come for about 450$ he'll have alot of room for that SLI bridge!

Dual 1070's will do good in 4K.

I want a 32in wide screen monitor, will I run into any problems in any of your highly appreciated comments?

with the 1070's you shouldn't run into problems i'm using a 42in widescreen tv as my main monitor and i have no problems

[RagingTyphoon]

Newegg I think has them on sale, they also have R9 Fury X for Under $400.

Would dual R9 Fury X perform better than 1070's

[RagingTyphoon]

Which one is best, duel 1080's or R9 Fury X

[Nena Trinity]

Umm anything with Nvidia SMP?

RX480 Gaming x8g - $400

R9 390x Gaming 8g - $481

GTX 1080's - $700

Your Choice they all run about the same except the R9 390x little bit more powerful

[Mrchooow]

Im gonna build this rig when i gt back from Holiday, as i work as a bartender tips are crazy in Nov-Des in Norway.
 

CPU: i7 6800k

Mobo: Asus x99 A II LGA 2011-v3

Ram: Corsair Dominator DDR4 3200 4 x 8 GB
Case: Phantek Enthoo Primo

Storage: Kingston SSDNow 480 GB x 2

               Intel 600p m.2 256 GB

               WD RED 3 TB

Cooloing: Custom Loop w/ 2 x 480 rad, 270 res, and d5 pump.

Corsair HX1000i

Whitesleeved Cable mod

 

The phanteks case is pretty big and I know i can get 2 1070 for a little bitt more then what a 1080 costs, is it worth it?
From what i have seen 2x1070 gives you a pretty badass performance in 4k  and the price for 2x1080 is the same price as the rest of rig without cooling.

And in the Phanteks case I think is gonna look nice with 2x1070 and custom painted SLi Brigde

What are your take on this?

a 1080 is faster than a Fury X, two 1080's... they out perform a Titan X pascal on well SLI optimized games.

390x is a bit faster than a 970 and a 1080 is around 2x the performance of a 970...

How would 2 Fury x in Crossfire preform?

the fury X is close to on par with the 980ti and the 1070, so possibly like SLI 1070s, but without the 8GB buffer. Not sure exactly the pros and cons of each, try to find some benchmarks of your favorite games for each dual GPU setup.

[RagingTyphoon]

Thanks for the inputs, I do believe I will going with the dual 1080's. lets just hope there will be a sweet ass Black Friday or cyber Monday sale this year.
