Rx 580 pulse bottleneck i7 8700k?

[stuartharrison58]

Im thinking of buying a ryzen 7 2700x or i7 8700k. Ive been looking at games like fh4 and the rx 580 seems to bottleneck it. Should i get another Rx 580 to balance the build and can i pair a 4gb card with an 8gb card?

Sell the 580 and get a vega or 1070ti or better instead of xfire.

580 isn't bad but both those processors can run better.

Indeed, the only thing is, the card is practically brand new and it cost £300

Can try xfire.

580 4gb going for 160bucks.

Though xfire only 4gb would be used between 4gb + 8gb 580s but theyll xfire.

Indeed, i will try but i will probably go for the rx 580 4gb pulse to keep the cards the same.
