What gpu? Crossfire?

What's the best sub 350 GPU? Would I be better off just getting a second 480? Playing at 1440p 144hz

Thank you XD. Any reason people don't go for crossfire? Is it worth it to spend 150 more on that then just buying a second 480 for 200?

Yes, yes it is. While crossfire/SLI can provide an advantage in some situations, it's pretty specific in which it'll benefit you. Some games even suffer from it, with games like GTA V sometimes having massive amounts of microstutter when you have SLI enabled. Always go for the more powerful single card instead of getting 2 cheaper ones in SLI.

Yeah Like previously stated get a 1070 for 9 bucks more is the best preformance in the price range of 350 $

I'll go devil's. If you already have a 480 get a second. In a lot of games you're at 1080 levels of performance, in a few over it.

Forcing multicard almost never goes well, I've done it with both Crossfire and SLI. I can't think of a game that needs support and doesn't have it as well.

I would recommend a 740ti or a ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Expedition OC 2 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card. BTW the 1050 the exact one I gave you costs $90/100 pounds

sell current 480 for 160 for $500 total and wait for vega if you want to upgrade
