RX 560 in Crossfire

[Intergalactic Tractor]

Hello guys,

 

This is my first post here so take it easy on me.

 

Tl;dr I have an RX560 and I'm looking for an upgrade in the near future.

 

While I could obviously sell it, and try to go for an RX 570/580, in the 4GB VRAM variants, it'd be a lot easier to simply get another one and put in in crossfire. 

 

I know the support of games is sometimes crap, and the scaling is sometimes even worse, but even so, in most titles, there's at least a 40% performance increase, sometimes even coming close to 100%.

 

This guy from Tech of Tomorrow also made a video showcasing its capabilities, and it doesn't look half bad:

 

 

Looking forward for your feedback, and thanks in advance.  

 

LE: Yes, I'm aware these are RX460s; also, benchmarks start at 2:15

the gains would be slim to none. 99% of games are not optimized to utilize multiple cards. You would be better off buying a 570 or 580 and selling you 560

Crossfire support is even worse than Sli support. 

Just get a single powerful card.

waste of time just sell it for a 580

You are right. I'm totally disappointed for this because it was my dream to have a crossfire in my PC someday but as you said it's not worth it. Now it's only a complete waste of money. I don't know why it doesn't have more support from the game devs now. Never understood what the heck happened.

Multi card set ups are a very niche segment of the market. Due to the limited number of people it would benefit, it's not worth the additional man hours to optimize games for multiple cards.
