Okay, let's pretend I have this elusive thing I heard about once that was called..... oh, what was it..... "monev"....no, wait.....was it "money"? I think so...... OK, we'll stick with that whether it's right or wrong........ (note that I really don't have any, this is just for planning once I do get some)
Now, not taking a look at my current rig (because, well....) what do you all think about the current state of SLI/Crossfire? Would it be worth it to get two video cards, assuming one of these (it doesn't really have to be that specific mobo, the important thing is dual 16x PCIe2.0 - and this isn't a rig-building thread so don't sit there and tell me to get a different one) got catapulted out of a warehouse and into my home through a series/parallel of unrelated events? And if so, is SLI or Crossfire better?
I really don't care about the last 2 questions all that much, but most importantly, is the current state of multi-GPU solutions good (works for a lot of games, actually increases performance, stable, etc), and what are the ups and downs (aside from the obvious power and cooling and sound)?
Please don't turn this into a fanboi thread. Pretty please?
