So I have been mining a while on my r9 290 and making profits that are decent enough for me. However, I am currently upgrading my PC and have come to a dilemma.
1) I want to be able to run 1440p or 4k ultra
2) I don't want to sacrifice any mining performance (and would prefer to gain some)
What is my best option for a budget of under $500? I have considered keeping my r9 290 and buying a used gtx 1080, or selling my r9 290 and buying two used rx 580s. I am leaning towards the crossfire rx 580s which seem to give about the fps of a gtx 1080 on a game that is optimized for multi-gpu setups. However, I have read of lots of people who advocate for single-gpu setups due to how finicky multi-gpu setups can be. Any suggestions?
