Dec 8, 2002 1,533 10 19,795 If you had to choose between RX 460 4GB vs. HD 7870 X2 Crossfire, what would it be? PSUs and power consumption not withstanding, which would be better for gaming? And 2010 games vs. 2015 games vs. 2020 games. Does it even matter that the RX 460 4GB does not have a 6 or 8 pin power plug? That bothers me. Even Baldur's Gate III coming out this summer. And I am using the cards in two systems, one based on a i7-2600K and the other a i5-3570K. Thanks Sort by date Sort by votes

Moderator Oct 7, 2009 65,679 8,067 185,940 Crossfire is pointless in this day and age. I've seen many people come around asking us not to pay attention to the make model/quality or even the age of the PSU. With building computers, pretty much every bit of detail aids in giving you a robust and worthwhile advice. That being said you should stick to the single most powerful GPU your wallet and your platform will allow. You might want to mention the make and model of the RX460 or a link to it.

Dec 8, 2002 1,533 10 19,795 Radeon™ RX 460 WINDFORCE OC 4G Had trouble getting this to work in an Intel DZ68BC motherboard. Will update bios today. https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD#kf Both HD 7870s are Sapphire 2GB One PSU is a Corsair 650W with the i7-2600K and the other is an Antec 750W with the i5-3570K, both capable of the Crossfire. One computer is my friend's and the other is my daughter's. Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Facebook X Bluesky LinkedIn Reddit Tumblr WhatsApp Email Share Link
