I know that Crossfire, in a void, is very much worth it.
But add into the equation one specific element: resell value.
Basically, I'm in a position where I could either get a second card for half of the original release price, or sell my card ---for half of the original release price--. And because of the way technology works, that would actually afford me a better card.
This is solely affected by the price of old technology staying fairly high and the cost of new technology releasing fairly cheap. The cheapest I'm seeing my card on ebay is $130. I can slap that in Crossfire, or sell mine and upgrade
selling it, however, makes more sense because if a crossfire, when it's time to upgrade i won't be able to resell it because then the card will truly be worth nothing.
i really wanted to ruin a dual gpu set-up but considering resell value it's not worth it. thoughts?
