Two RX580 at their current prices are certainly not worth it IMO, but if one could get two 8GB RX480 for $180 each (like I got one a couple of weeks ago), or even two 8GB RX470 for $150 each using rebate promotions and the like, then it's definitely worth a look. It largely depends on what games one is willing to play, really. It's not like multi-gpu is great for everyone nowadays. What really bothers me is the guy somehow has access to a myriad of graphics cards but uses them to make largely ignorant articles. Or rather because the guy lacks google search skills. This means some parts are larger than 14nm, while some parts of the basic transistor unit are approximate 14nm in size. Let's just spend tens of hours testing 20+ graphics cards to reach that conclusion instead.Ĥ - Deus Ex Mankind Divided gets ridiculous scaling using DX12, but let's just test it on the DX11 runtime that doesn't support mGPU, because reasons. Answer (1 of 4): Long answer short, the RX580 is produced with a 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. A 30-second google search would have told him that. The guy didn't bother doing a 1-minute google search before doing the tests, so he gets zero scaling.ģ - Doom doesn't support mGPU in Vulkan. A 2-minute google search would have given him that information.Ģ - Ashes of Singularity supports explicit multi-GPU and it gets very good scaling on both brands, but explicit mGPU means he'd have to disable Crossfire in the settings. Bearing in mind the average US cost of electricity at. Most gamers will play for around 8.5 hours a week, for a total weekly power consumption of 1.87 kilowatt-hours. Using 2*290X, I get the full 11 score with no drops using the multigpu command, and I doubt two RX580 would get him less than that. When you’re using your PC to play games or render animations, the RX 580 graphics card will use around 220 watt-hours per hour, which is the same as 0.22 kilowatt-hours per hour. I never heard of that website and I guess there's a really good reason to.ġ - The SteamVR test obviously didn't have the "-multigpu" command enabled, so he's probably just running AFR forcing both cards to render two viewpoints each, which is a terrible idea. I dont know where youre located, but generally used cards dont have any warranty. In any case, Im assuming that youre looking at a used GTX 980, and a new RX580. That said, while the GTX 980 has a performance edge over the RX580, its only a small edge. Mindless data dump that results in a terrible and very ignorant article. The standard power ratings are: GTX 980: 165W.
