Hi all,
The money I had originally ear marked for a Ryzen upgrade has been burning a hole in my pocket (While Ryzen is an amazing platform, I think my Haswell at 4.5Ghz may be faster in games - which will be the primary function of this machine).
Currently I have an overclocked Gtx 1070 and game at 1440p. I was thinking of upgrading to a 4k display and picking up a second GTX 1070 (They are going for about $425CAD on the second hand market).
I have used Cross Fire in the past with mixed success. Is SLI worth it? Given that DX12 now shifts multi-GPU support onto the developer, do you think SLI/CF will continue to be supported moving forward?
I play an assortment of games - right now I am working through Deux Ex: Mankind Divided, and I already can't play on Ultra settings at 1440p (the in game benchmark shows 46fps) - playable, but not ideal)
If given the choice, would you:
1) Buy 4k Monitor + SLI 1070s
2) Buy 4k Monitor and wait for Vega/Volta
3) Wait and see if Ryzen works out its gaming kinks, and then upgrade the whole system (and stay at 1440p with one GTX 1070)
Many thanks for any input!
