So I have an MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8G GPU now paired with a LG 29UC88-B 2560 X 1080 monitor (which I love) and want to know if it makes any sense to add a 2nd RX 480 8G in Crossfire?

The monitor is capped at 75hz when using Freesync and while running BF1 on Ultra settings today that is pretty much what I'm getting most of the time. If there is a lot of action the FPS does drop but not below 60.

Here is my current system:

i7-4790K (not OCed. Yet.)
16 Gigs of DDR3
MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8G
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 M/B
Crucial 512GB MX100 SSD
Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM HHD
Corsair RM750 P/S
EVO 212 CPU Cooler

Thanks in advance...................

I'd OC your CPU before buying another card, it does make sense in some capacity but your frame drops in BF1 are more likely CPU load than GPU. It seems like you're somewhat content with your current performance, if I were you i'd stick it out with 1 480 and then reconsider when VEGA comes out, because by then you'll probably be able to get a 2nd 480 for half price if you so desire
