What is the big deal here? I am monitoring VGAs for 10+ years and two midrange GPUs always performed better for a lower price than the current single chip king.
So why is everyone freaking out about it now?
>>54910516
cause two amd can be bought for less than a single nvidia

>two midrange GPUs always performed better for a lower price
No that never happened. If you feel like im wrong then back up your claim with evidence you shitbag.
The price point. Can you show when a pair of $200 GPUs beat a $700 one? Because a 270X crossfire config certainly couldn't.

The Combined speed of two Priuses is faster than the top speed of the LaFerrari.

97*2=300?
>>54910575
>>54910584
GTX960
GTX760
GTX660
GTX560
GTX460
GTX260
9600GT
...
two were always cheaper and faster than a single 8 series GPU
any other questions?

Because /g/ is retarded. It's the same thing with the shock that the 1070 equals or betters the 980Ti. Go look at the 970 and 780Ti benches - you'd see the same results.
>>54910623
really bad analogy. In fact it doesn't work at all.
In computing, raw compute power can be stacked. Quite a bit different than simply adding to numbers together, with no effect on the real world what so ever (as in your car example)
>>54910720
That's bullshit though. Also
>back it up with evidence
>names a bunch of GPUs but still no evidence
>>54910720
You're going to need a source to back that up because I can show you right here that 960 SLI wasn't even close to 980 Ti performance. Pretty damn sure it's the same with all the rest.
>comparing a high-end nvidia card to a midrange bang-de-la-buck AMD card
I'll wait for the higher end 14nm AMD cards to appear before I make my judgement
>>54910771
google images search:
9800 gtx vs 9600gt sli
GTX280 vs GTX260 sli
...
GTX960 sli vs GTX980
are you that retarded? its 1 search away dumbfuck
>>54910772
>980 ti
get your brain checked moron
AMD and I are comparing non Ti retard
>>54910757
Sounds like something a Prius driver would say.
>>54910829
Maybe you should get your brain checked because the post specifically mentioned a $700 price point. The 980 launched under $600. If you have been following this long enough you should know the naming has been irrelevant for a while now. And 960 SLI doesn't beat the 980 either so it's moot anyway.
>>54910829
Not that anon but you might want to get yours checked, as if look at the picture they posted. The standard 980 is still better at 120% performance of 960 SLI.
>>54910623
that...anon come on
>>54910516
>ashes of the singulariy
Still with the meme tho.
>tfw your GPU is as fast as 10 fast GPUs
>>54910811
You made the claim, you back it up shitlord. I'm not doing your work for you.
>>54911089
He already got his 960 SLI is better than an 980 debunked by the image at >>54910772
But what if you did 1080 sli?
>>54910516
Why didn't they put $400 instead of <$500
Since 480s cost $200?
>>54911282
the 8GB version costs 230$
I'm expecting a TON of shitposting when people try to use the 4GB versions and get lesser results
>>54910772
I love how my R9 290 is still viable in most of these
>>54911311
>and get lesser results
They won't. I had 290x 4GB crossfire and upgraded to 290x 8GB crossfire because I got a good deal and there's zero difference. 8GB is a meme as of now. I doubt it'll change for another year at the very least.

>What is system power consumption
A retard like you obviously doesn't know anything
GTX 1080 180W
2 AYYMD HOUSEFIRES 300W FOR 3 FPS MORE
AYYMD, SIMPLY CAN'T COMPETE

>DX12 and Vulkan both have Split Frame Rendering
>have two gpus in crossfire
>both have 8GB framebuffers
Suddenly, you have WAY more headroom available for turning up graphical settings, and an even greater benefit when it comes to VR
