higher single or lower crossfire???

Vorphalack · Jan 14, 2017

Hi
Sorry for my poor english.
I read all topics and my doubts remains.
Wich one is better?
- single gtx 1060
- single rx 480
- crossfire 2x rx 470
I don't know if I install 2 amd's in crossfire if the system assumes as just one powerfull card? software has to be ready to that or is allways better?
I Have I5 6500
msi pc mate h170
ssd 240
16 gb ddr4

thank you very very much

Multi GPU setups are to be avoided if at all possible (I have 2 R9 280x in crossfire). The crossfire game profiles alone are cause for concern what with micro stutter, lag etc. I would suggest going for the single most powerful GPU you can afford....the RX480 being the best from your suggestion list.

some prefer 1060, some 480... they are +/- at same level I think.
About crossfire...
Here in portugal... cards cost about 2x more than in usa... I was wondering if 2x a lower card like 470 can deliver a better performance.
But... better to go up... by your opinion

Yes you will avoid many problems by just installing one higher GPU, even though 2 x lower GPU may be more powerful.

470/480/1060 are all close in performance, they're about as fast as older gens 970/980 390/390x to give you an idea, any of the cards mentioned will provide a similar experience so go with the one that has the best cooler and cost.

Now that you mention that (cooling)
A dual fan is better than blowers ?(that blow the air of the case)
Thank you

Dual fans cool the GPU better and also run a lot quieter than the blower style coolers which are loud and run the card hot. You need decent airflow in your case, so if you have at least two fans you'll be fine.

Vorphalack :

If you have smaller case with poor cable management I suggest blower style, but if you have normal case with in and out fans i recommend dual fan card!
