Hey guys, currently I'm gaming at 1080p with a xfx rx 480, core i7 4790 non k, gigabyte z97-sli mobo, 32 gb ram, and a 144 Hz Free Sync Acer monitor. My question, is I am wanting to upgrade to a 1440p build and was wondering the best upgrade path. However, I've heard that running a single rx 480 would not get the best results at 1440 p. I was considering getting another rx 480 and running them in crossfire, and upgrading to a 1440 p 144 Hz 1 ms free sync monitor. Free sync, or maybe g sync is not negotiable. it makes so much of a difference I can't go back to a regular monitor. My budget is around $700 US for a monitor and a new gfx card.
Do you think it's worth waiting for the rx 490 to come out? I know that not all games scale well in crossfire mode. Or should I scrape everything and move to team green and get a 1070 and a 1440 p G Sync Monitor. I think that would put me out of budget tho. Any suggestions that you guys have for me or and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
