radeon rx480 ?

[mugg70]

hi there

Running 10 men and using i7-i5820k processor and 16gb ram (upgrading to 32 this weekend)

Still using my 2gb radeon graphic card. And all settings low except master window.
and looking for a (budget) card.. curios if its worth going for Radeon Rx 480 8gb.
considering the price buy one first then after a couple of month get one more ..

Is it worth it ?

Sure, it would probably be a pretty nice upgrade, but CrossFire doesn't work in windowed mode so I wouldn't spend money on a second AMD GPU thinking you could put them together for more power while multiboxing.

damn.... so ill guess i try go find some sli supported cards then..

With an 8GB card, would you NEED two? Can you 10 ox with this sort of CPU/GPU combo generally?

Well cpu seems to work fine for 10. but 2gb card that i have now seems to need undergeared. can have one window high resolution and slaves low settings

budget and SLI/crossfire don't exactly work in the same sentence. You're better off getting a more powerful card than 2 weaker ones in SLI. I don't recommend multiple GPUs unless you're willing to dish out loads of cash.

You also have to take your current system into consideration, such as available power, space and cooling.

EDIT: right now I wouldn't SLI anything under a gtx 1070. two rx480s in crossfire is benchmarking roughly the same as a single 1070, but if you go that route you'll have to deal with the nuances of two cards.
