Quote:We now understand why AMD kept quiet about the CrossFire during the Vega launch. The games we've tested now are not the newest. Of the games that came out the past year, only a small number support multi-GPU setup. The list of recent games in which a second graphics card is completely useless, on the other hand, turns out to be overwhelmingly long: F1 2017, Wolfenstein II, Total War: Warhammer II, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Forza Motorsport 7, Middle-earth: Shadow of War... DirectX 12 has reduced rather than improved the multi-GPU field of application.

Now, even more so than ever before, we advise you to buy one fast video card rather than several slower cards. If you're sure that the games you often play offer good support for CrossFire and you're not satisfied with the performance of one high-end video card, you might still want to consider it. With new games, the chance that multi-GPU does not work is so much greater than the chance that the second video card will be useful, that we dare to conclude that the era of CrossFire and SLI is coming to an end. We still have the hope that there will be a reversal in this area, but at the same time we would not know where it would come from. Unfortunately, we cannot but look to the future in a gloomy light.
