ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm just trying to squeeze more frames out and/or stabilize the framerates of the games I currently play(mainly Overwatch). The big question is; should I Crossfire an RX580 with my current RX480 or get a GTX1070 ti? Pros and cons of either setup will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

gtx 1070ti definitely I have one myself its a 1440p beast plus once you start doing crossfire you run into issues with compatibility and game support 1gpu will always be more reliable and stable than 2

I can play pubg ultra/high 1440p 100fps no problems if you want an idea

Thank you for such a fast response!

I actually have that card in my Amazon cart, just waiting for me to pull the trigger. This is probably a sign lol.

One thing I did not consider was the power consumption. I just saw a video from Gamers Nexus that showed, IIRC, ~460w draw. So that, plus the added heat I think you're right. Time I stop fooling myself and just take the dive.

Purchasing now. Thank you cdog!!!
