2x AMD R9 380X (8GB) VS Nvidia GTX 1080

[SaM_SpArK]

That doesnt make much diffrence in price to buy one Zotac gtx 1080 AMP EXtreme or two AMD Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X.

So what would u recommend me to buy ?

I going to enjoy my 4k gaming on 4k bitstreaming on tv and doing a lot of 4k video encoding and edditing and maybe crypto mining.

which card would give me the best performance ?

Here are my components :

- Core i7 6700K
- Asus Maximus VIII Hero
- 2 * 8GB ballistix

Need to add that my PSU is 750W, could it afford two way amd cross-fire ?

Dual gpu is dead an only causes trouble. Gtx 1080 all the way. Also could you please tell us the model number of the psu and brand? I've had to deal with a lot of problems today that were all related to having a crappy psu.

The 1080 would be better suuported, scale much better and run faster in your required programs with it's VRAM.
What is your budget?

Oh, okay, I thought you were planning a rig.
Here's a few options.
If you want great overclocking, top notch support and warranty, quiet operation and good thermals get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/bNcMnQ/evga-video-card-08gp46286
If you just want the best thermals and don't mind waiting a bit on 'meh' support and a little noise: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/v34NnQ/asus-geforce-gtx-1080-8gb-rog-strix-video-card-rog-strix-gtx1080-a8g-gaming

Ok you are good to go. Btw I recommend the msi gtx 1080 (the red one's) they are quiet and good.

The problem is most of the time they're also obscenely overpriced. xD
