Question What CPU for dual RX 6500 XT?

[NixyPCbuilder]

I know Dual GPU is not good but with AMD crossfire its better so i want to ask what CPU should i get for dual RX 6500 XT ?
Also i will use graphics cards for rendering not gaming at all.

What motherboard do you have and what is your budget?

i will use graphics cards for rendering not gaming at all.
Rendering what? Which app will you be using?

I'd literally sell both GPU's and pickup a higher tier GPU. What motherboard are you working with?

I will buy motherboard and my budget for CPU is 300$-350$ AM4 socket

Im using Blender for rendering and some videos take long for render so i need something cheap and faster

Crossfire is dead. Nothing supports it now. If you want faster blender times, you should get a single fast Nvidia GPU. This would be an excellent budget option. The Evga RTX 2060 KO uses a 2080 die, and is faster, than other RTX 2060's, in blender.

To add to my colleague's point, above, OP...

Radeon RX 6500 XT does not support CrossFire.

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

dual RX 6500 XT ?

Oh, lord. Why? This is not a good idea, as others have pointed out. SLI/Crossfire is not supported any more. Get the best GPU you can afford. Anything SLI/XFire is not worth the effort, never mind your hard-earned cash.

If i will get Dual RX 6500 XT and i will use one for gaming and both for rendering?

 

[larsv8]

AMD 5900x is a good choice for your budget.

 

[--SID--]

and both for rendering

6500XT don't support video encoding.

 

[Nighthawk117]

My two cents would be similar to others, get one big GPU not two little ones, and get an Nvidia GPU. However if you are committed to this course of action, then I would look at the Ryzen 9 5900X as stated by @larsv8.

I'm confused. You started another thread today with this similar question.

Hello, im upgrading from 1060 to dual GTX 980 Ti and i have currently Ryzen 5 3600. Do i need a better CPU or this is good? I know many bottleneck calculators but there is no option for dual GPU.

Are you trolling?
