Some of you will know that over the past few months I've been itching to buy a second MSI R9 380 Gaming 4G for crossfire, and I wasn't sure whether to do it or buy a GTX 980 TI and try to sell my first card at a loss.
Well after months of consideration and being constantly told that the latter option was the only sensible choice, I went for the insane and bought another 380 (I used the £200 I saved to buy an Enthoo Primo).
Best decision ever! I've had precisely ZERO issues with crossfire, running benches today and at 2560x1440 with every possible setting maxed I'm seeing fps around the desirable 60fps in every game, the lowest I've seen was 43fps in Crysis 3 but that's still more than smooth enough to be playable.
Don't let anyone put you off buying a multi gpu set up if it's more financially viable for you to do so, from what I've seen the scare stories about it not working are just that, scare stories!
