So don't crossfire or SLI with your budget, its not worth it and honestly given how support for it is going away and its pain in the ass to get to work 100% of the time, I see no reason to crossfire or sli (outside of aesthetics) Get the most powerful single gpu you can afford, in this case the Rx 570, it will edge out the 1050 ti. Although for the 570 cost there is a 1060 6gb mini on sale for around $220 if you can stretch that far (Last I checked anyways).

Please help decide which GPU to get.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself
