I had earlier. Didn’t find anything on Crossfire configurations, and looking for confirmation of Crossfire having any benefit of adding another AMD card next to the existing AMD 6700 since paying $600 for a second video card is bound to be a lot cheaper compared to the $1500~2000 for a new nVidia x090 (never mind the refurbished units for less will probably fry after a week, depending on what it was used before being returned for a refund – either way, graphics cards’ prices are through the stratosphere.)
Will re-read it; maybe the x070 is a comparable $600 cost but at a better framerate…
Just glanced; it looks like the 7900 is comparable to the 3060 with 1920x1080 source material. Will manually sift through a few more pages, wish there were an easier way to pull down criteria, but if my 6700 isn’t that much lower, then it’s not worth the time to add to or replace the GPU at all considering the prices right now. The 3090 and 4090 chipsets look great, as do the 3080 and 4080 models, but the costs ($1100+) are still higher than the hope of adding a second card in Crossfire configuration, even if the new card has to pare down its bus to match the slower card.
Still, would be sweet if ffmpeg could also use the local CPU as well as GPU for optimal throughput, unless that incurs too much of a bottleneck…
