    Can anyone tell me a little bit more about SLI/Crossfire? I some poking around various forums and it seems that SLI/CF support is not very good. A lot of games don't support it, and the increase in performance is usually between 0%=40%

    So I was just wondering this was a driver/software problem, or hardware limitations. Any idea if things will improve in the future?

    Thanks

    Support for SLI and Crossfire has gotten better over the years. More and more of the newer games are adding additional support and optimization for these dual GPU configurations and I think we all expect it will continue to get better.

    As far as bang for the buck? That's a whole other argument; but there is no argument of the massive power of having 2 GPU's tethered together.
