RX 480 Crossfire X

[pumaaaa]

Hi! I'm here to ask which motherboards are the best for RX 480 CrossfireX setup. I have an i5 4690 (non k) and how powerful PSU should I get for those two guys.

There aren't an exact type of motherboards you could need. PSU on the other hand, 800 watts should do.

Are you sure you want to setup a crossfire RX 480 system? I generally really don't recommend SLI/Crossfire because game optimalisation has simply been way too poor lately.

Right now I'm going to buy a single RX 480. Maybe in the next year I will buy second one. And I'm just asking what should I get for that Crossfire.. I've seen that those two guys had great performance in games, better than 1070 and they're nearly as good as 1080.

You'll have nearly similar results in synthetic benchmarks but forget about similar performance in actual games. In most games you'll be 20-30% below GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 performance wise.

I could recommend specs but not sure where you're buying from. Anyways, here an example:

Is there a huge difference between x8 and x16 (PCI Express)?
