I’ve heard that people sometimes use multiple GPUs in a single computer build. Is it possible to do this with the RX 9070 XT? I’m curious about whether it would affect the value of the GPUs, if it significantly boosts performance, and if this setup is actually feasible at all. Also, are there any resources or videos that could help me understand how this works?

Back in the day, using multiple GPUs was pretty common for high-resolution gaming, but it was also really expensive. You’d need a powerful power supply and a good cooling solution. Nowadays, it’s not really worth it for gaming. You might want to look at Nvidia’s higher-end cards like the 4090 or 5080 for better performance. Multi-GPU setups mainly help with professional software when they support it, not so much in gaming.
Yes, you can technically use multiple RX 9070 XTs. But if your goal is gaming, it’s not going to add much performance—you’re better off with a single GPU. You might see some benefits in specific productivity applications, but in general, you won’t get a significant FPS boost for games unless the software is built to support it. Setting it up is pretty straightforward, just install the drivers normally and it should work.
If you’re into rendering or professional work, multiple GPUs can be useful, but for gaming, there’s really no benefit at all. Only a few programs can utilize them effectively. If you’re not doing IT work regularly, I’d suggest sticking with a single GPU setup for gaming.
Thanks for the info! So it sounds like sticking with one GPU is the way to go for gaming.
