Should I swap my RX 480 CF for a single 1080ti

Hi Everyone,

 

Should I get rid of my Crossfire RX480s and replace them with a single 1080Ti.  Given the inflated prices for RX480s, due to miners.  I was thinking of selling the pair, adding a little bit of extra crash and getting a 1080ti to pair with my 7700k.

 

With the pair of them I am seeing pretty good FPS and performance in games, would I see much of a gain or even a loss with a single 1080ti.

 

What are your thoughts?

 

Chris :)

With the inflated prices of 480's I'd totally do it. You should also see a decent performance bump in games too.

Definitely.

 

I remember seeing an old video where crossfire 480's were getting close/matching the 1080 in games, so if you can swap 'em for a 1080ti, go for it.

That profile pic. This is what people with jobs do with 480's instead of dumb coin mining (actually use them hint, hint). Sell them to miners so they can can pay more than what the card is worth and then dump on eBay 3 months later because the mining bubble burst again.

 

Enjoy the 1080ti!

So that happened fast. A guy bought the pair of them for £700!!  Picked up my 1080ti from Novatech today.  Simply it is awesome.  Need to update my signature with my new rig.  But here is a pic.20170623_161539.thumb.jpg.06fb0cf040b783c2f03ef34fe7891129.jpg.. :) Very happy, very happy indeed...
