AMD Radeon RX 5700 "Navi" Graphics Cards Lack CrossFire Support

This more or less confirms that for the moment AMD will work with the few devs implementing DX12/Vulkan in their AAA games. For smaller devs, that launch DX9/10/11/OpenGL games, crossfire will work only on previous RDNA uArch GPUs as long as there is developer interest.

So for the blockbuster titles, nothing really changed going forward (Ubisoft should really start implementing DX12/Vulkan in all their incredibly CPU bound games though). The percentage of people using multi GPUs setup has always been incredible small.

One of the reasons I went to Windows 10 was DX12. One of the reasons I went to DX12 was multi GPU support. It really is too bad that we are not getting crossfire support for Navi DX11 though as there are plenty of good games that support it. I just wish all games could be as well done as AOTS or Strange Brigade. Crossfire (especially when the 2nd card is 1/2 the first one in terms of cost) has always been a staple for me. This does not mean the end of multi GPU setups though. It will probably be a while but I want to test AOTS with multi GPUs using Navi.

As mentioned in my reviews, I think this is a good thing, because it frees AMD from wasting time with a feature that nobody really uses, so they can assign the resources to more useful tasks

AGREED...
