Just got my hands on a 7070 SFF with dual AMD Radeon R5 430 - Can I utilize both GPU's for gaming?
I suppose like a crossfire function? Wondering if this was the purpose for having two of them? Seems overkill to have 6 DP ports. (2 on the mainboard). TIA

R5 430 does not support crossfire on the 7070 and its really slow.
Closest thing you can game on is the DELL R7 250 2gig card.

Wow thats a 7 year old card!
I saw a couple recommendations on youtube,,, the GTX 1650 low profile and GTX 1050 Ti but they're just expensive! There were a couple other ones that were lower cost the GT 1030 or soemthing...
Thanks though... I was just curious about the dual Radeon R5 430's that were already in the system. Looks like a no go. Will need to look at upgrade options but I'm sure there's some better ones than R7 250 you recommended from 100 -200 dollar range, no?

The R7 250 is under $100
check the eBay link. I purchased a few pf these for clients with kids that want a gaming system but cant afford $200 to $2000 for a GPU.
Its not super fast but it does work.
High end gaming requires 3060 at the 100 percent mark.
As in 100 percent of games will run.

Thats a $1000 or more card right now.

GPU wont settle for at least 2 years from now.

From the 7070 Spec Sheet:
