[SOLVED] IS Crossfire HD5850 Still Good?

[EmptyAlpaca]

Hi, the due to the current gpu shortage I was considiring buying 2 Hd 5850 Gpus and using them in crossfire until I can purchase a good gpu. So i was wondering is it good enough for light 1080p gaming ( CSGO and Rocket League)

Most games do not support multiple GPUs, and even when they do they do not outperform a single, faster GPU. Crossfire also only uses the maximum vram of a single GPU. So, you will still only have 1GB of vram. Therefore, it is not "good" IMO.

A single, faster GPU with more vram is the better option.

AMD stop supporting HD5k series in 2016 or so. Even if AMD still support crossfire (and many games able to benefit from it) 5850 in CF will not going to work in games past the last driver anyway.
