Hey guys,

I'm building a new pc and I'm in a pickle here. I have two choices :

1. (2 x Rx 480 )

2. 1 gtx 1070

Though No. 1 has more power
No.2 has more vram.

Would it be a problem ?

I heard games like Shadow of morridor and also modding can substantially increase the amount of vRam ussage.

So what would be better ? 1 or 2 ?

Also I know I'm overkilling a bit. But Im also doing some light editing .

So plz give me your opinion.
Than you

Ok, Ill simplify my answer a bit and save you some time and hassle.
Go with option 2.
Reason 1: SLI/Crossfire still isnt fully utilized in all games, Nor is it seemlessly functioning. Which can cause screen tearing or the dreaded microstutters which is terrible to watch. So whenever possible, 1 stronger card will always be the better option.
Reason 2: the 1070 will be a solid pascal card. It will actually have a decently high bandwidth on the card itsself to be able to properly utilize its 4gbs it has to throw at games.
