It's always better to spend a couple of bucks more for a great single gpu card than go SLi or CF.

I meant dual GPU on a single PCB is more efficent than CF / SLI.
But yes, I agree a powerful single GPU is more efficient than two average ones in CF, mostly due to software limitations and drivers.

I think Black Panther meant spend more on a premium GPU the first time round, so you don't have to CF later (unless you choose to later). When it comes to prolonging the life of an existing GPU, CF/SLI usually the way forward.
