AMD Radeon RX 480 CrossFire Review

In their marketing leading up to the Polaris launch today, AMD showed two Radeon RX 480 cards running in CrossFire, beating NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 - at a much lower price point. Techpowerup have a review of two of these cards running 16 games at 4 resolutions in CrossFire.

The author states in the conclusion section: "At just $398, about the same price as the cheapest GeForce GTX 1070 you can find, or $478 for a pair of 8 GB cards like those we have, Radeon RX 480 CrossFire is not a viable solution if you plan to buy two cards upfront. When averaged over all our games, it is consistently slower than a single GeForce GTX 1070 at all the resolutions that matter - 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Instead of buying two cards upfront, you're much better off putting your monies into a single GTX 1070, not just for better performance but to dodge the spectre of application multi-GPU support, which continues to haunt both SLI and CrossFire."

So it's better to buy a single GTX 1070 than two Rx480 hmm

Yeah looks that way! I think once the price of the 1070 regulates, it's the much better choice.

Lon3wolf2883d ago

It always has been better to use a single card solution, nothing new at all. Saying that after all the words from AMD I am underwhelmed at the 480.

Cweed2883d ago

All these 480 benchmarks are pretty underwhelming for me. Still a good card I think but I was really hoping it would beat the 970 and be somewhere between it and the 980.

Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)

You could add the naming scheme for the consoles, it just confuses customers. I know they wanted to avoid traditional numbering bc it would always be lower than their competitor, but this whole 360 then One then Series thing is confusing af. Imagine a Soccer Mom trying to figure this stuff out. I still mistakenly call the Series X the One from time to time on accident.

Don't forget about the Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X! Good luck to Soccer moms around the world.

Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke

He still has his job. Something you can't say about Jim Ryan.

Both bad execs. One is on job and one thankfully retired.

Really good video.

I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.

Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.

Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue

shinoff21833h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2 of the 4 games they did already sold really well. So it's definitely going down. Idk about halo or forza but I feel those studios they've bought in the last 5 years, their coming
