Final Thoughts
So at the end of the day how is the performance of the 370’s in Crossfire? Well I was a little disappointed with two of our games and one of our synthetic benchmarks not having Crossfire support with the 370’s. That said in the games and benchmarks that supported the cards I was impressed with the numbers. Surprisingly the higher memory bandwidth and the 4GB per card in memory really complemented the 370’s in Crossfire. In the end the performance was right up above a GTX 780 and below a GTX 780 Ti in nearly every test. This put the pair below the R9 390 and above the R9 380 that cost $330 and $190 respectfully. So what does a pair of 370’s run? Well you can get a pair for 300 for two 2GB models but the cards tested were slightly higher in price so about $350 for two. At that price it’s not really the best buy as you could pick up an R9 390 for less and see a little better performance. Where going crossfire on the 370 is best though is if you build a nice $600 budget build now and upgrade to a second card later, in that situation you can upgrade your performance for the price of a few games and you don’t have to worry about selling your old card to try to recoup some of the cost.
