Crossfire On Raidmax Power Supply ?

[Mac070]

I currently run a single Asus Strix RX 480 but want to add another one . I'm using the Raidmax Vampire 700w Modular 80+ Gold . Would it be sufficient enough ? This vampire series seems like it's on the higher end side of the Raidmax brand . Thanks !

Raidmax is a pretty bad brand, but if this is your PSU's model number: RX-700GH, it may be okay.

I'm not sure you'd really want to crossfire on it, or crossfire at all, as you run into more problems than performance increases with multiGPU configs.

The higher end of crap is still crap.
That particular line is currently uncategorized. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

But I wouldn't, given their previous offerings.

Only able to find a review for the 1000W unit, but it wasn't a typical "Raidmax is pure garbage", so I held off on calling it pure garbage.

I wouldn't give any Raidmax units a PASS.

What is a good PSU that i can crossfire with? I already have some in mind but i need the cheapest option available...

Is the EVGA BQ any good ?

 

[Inkiad]

BQ series is manufactured by HEC, not good as some other units EVGA sells.

GQ is decent by FSP , BQ is HEC ...junk.
