RX 460 crossfire

[Aqs]

Hello guys , i read everywhere about crossfire those two cards is bad , i already have an rx 460 2gb and a ryzen 5 1500x and i really want to know from the guys with crossfire  if it's worth it and how it behave in big new-ish games like assassin origins or something similar to graphics , does those games have stuttering,crashes... and how much performance u got with it , also can i put one card to play games and the orther card to another monitor and play another game there with second graphic card ?

The game uses that Ubisoft engine which has problems with CrossFire, like horrible performance. Siege also suffers from the same issue. What's more, two RX 460s don't make much sense.

If you're after FreeSync, pick up an RX 580. If not, consider some Nvidia options as well.

I've never tried playing games on a Radeon card. But @Motifator is correct, two RX 560s doesn't make much sense.

 

Also take into account that AC: Origins is pretty badly optimized for PC, so you're not gonna be able to run it very smoothly for some time.

No worries.

 

I do own a Radeon graphics card, just don't use it for gaming.

 

The RX 560 isn't a very powerful card though. It's usually better to buy one higher-end card rather than two lower-end cards. This remains true for both Nvidia and AMD, especially in this day and age when multi-GPU setups aren't really worth it anymore.

Yea crossfire/sli never was a thing and always just buy a better card , but i expect AAA games to support crossfire/sli and at least 30% more performance , i dont wanna buy another graphic card cause i dont play very often and the gpu's price is very bad , but i really want to try new aaa games like The crew 2 / Shadow of the Tomb Raider / Planet Alpha / Far cry 5 / Battlefield 2 ... etc , and there are cheap rx 460 second hand

So , nobody have rx 460 crossfire or just no one respond to "old" topics?

I've run R9 270's in Crossfire. It helps with nothing. Yes they are older cards, but the same theory applies. Crossfire/SLI is almost never supported. I can tell you from experience with many Crossfire/SLI set ups, it is almost (99%) never worth it. You may, MAY, pick up a few more FPS in SOME games, but what you get in issues with other games, like stuttering, makes it completely not worth it. If you can sell the card you have and invest in an 480/580 or a 1060 you will be much happier.

In 2018, I can count the number of new major games coming out with CrossFire and SLI support on one hand if at all.

 

@Aqs If you need more performance then I'd advise selling the RX 460 2GB and buying an RX 480 or RX 580 considering they seem to be coming down in price in most countries (although apparently not in Canada).
