AMD 580 Cross Fire

[Lindows]

Hey,

 

I was looking into adding a second GPU to my computer. I current have a XFX xxx 580 8GB. I was curious if i would be bottle necking my CPU and does the brand of Crossfire bridge matter? 

 

 

Computer Specs

 

CASE: NZXT Phantom Green
CPU: AMD RYZEN 1700 (OC)
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB 
RAM: G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3200 x4
MOBO:GIGABYTE AORUS GA-AX370-Gaming K5
PSU: EVGA 850 B3

 

This is what i would be getting, its the exact same as my current

Not a bottleneck, just a weird configuration. Sell your current 580 and buy a 1080

the brand doesnt matter, as long as the other card is also a rx 580. If the 2 cards are clocked differently, you'll want the higher clocked gpu in the first slot.

With 8 cores, the 1700 shouldn't bottleneck

1080 would give you better fps than crossfire 580s

you also dont need a crossfire bridge.  AMD did away with that nonsense years ago.

only if your cpu is being maxed out , have you checked any of your usages?

CPU usage is always pretty low, even while running PUBG

So, I would just install both of them and they should just work

Yeah, I kind of figured it would but RX 580's dont sell for much in my area.

should just work, youll have to enable it in the driver, obviously.. but yea.

then no , if nothing you do taxes the cpu then the cpu wont be a bottleneck , your gpu is

 mmmm thats seems fake , are you with dual monitors? or minimizing game to look that? Cpu usage needs to be measured at the same time you are playing, it's not like gpu

If I were you I would sell that 580 for 200$ and buy a 1070ti/1080

It Varies between 14-30, on ultra with 3 monitors running 1440p (while running)

Crazyyyy dont play on ultra , never say fps on ultra thats high demanding 0 fps optimized

I had a rx480 and now a 1070 (had a rx 480 8gb + 2500k now a 1070+4790k oced) and I can run pubg at 1440p 80-120fps  on reddit they posted the best settings for pubg, and with that card i wont ultra anything

Better if you can buy a 1070ti than any 580 como , the ideal case that amd said is with 100% xfire compatibility it would have same performance as one 1080(1070ti) so I think even a 1070 will give you better gaming experience , you have a great cpu just need more power than a 580 (its like a 1060)


Best settings from reddit (I check everyday /r/pubbattlegrounds)

And for a 580 dont do more than this. (if you have a better gpu just up the screen scale)

Well, this is what i was mainly looking at, a crossfired 580 is comparable to the 1080 (roughly 5 frames different). And it looks like the 1080 outperforms the 1070 ti if this video is accurate 

 

[Peskanova]

Well I would bet my money that a 1070ti can bet any 580 sli rig, the same time that you need (or less) to tune a 580 sli you can spend in tuning your 1070ti  to be a 1080 full

 

I told you this because with my 480 was thinking the same but I just learn this year that the best hardware are not on numbers in a game like pubg fps , are in the full game experience , and that a sli would never do (you will have drawbacks on other games , or a lot of things if its for gaming for me its a no-no) a 1070ti/1080 will give you full 144hz/fps in any game that you are playing now, 0 tuning , 0 power issues , just plug and play...

If it were vega I would say buy a vega, Im not tied to brands , I bought a 480 when was at 260$ and sold it at 330$ more than 6 months later.(I think I have luck with computer deals , or just I research a lot , but bought my monitor (dell s2417dg) at 430 euros , now its at 470  , its like now the dell s2716dg its at 450$ on amazon.us I dont know why people are not buying that massively , 450$ for a 700$ msrp monitor)
