Concur - good info.
There's not a single propeller flight sim I'm aware of that benefits from SLI or Xfire. With the cost of the extra card - and the higher price motherboard (2X 16X PCI-E) you would be taking a huge risk.
Best advice is to wait until the product is delivered. If CoD runs out of the box on either Xfire or SLI then it will be the first. Otherwise you've spent a large amount of money on performance you'll never see.
I currently have a single 5870 I purchased more than a year ago. My MB is a Gigabyte with 1 16X slot and 1 8X slot. If by some miracle CoD is xfire compatible AND a second 5870 makes a significant difference in the eye-candy I can run in real time - then I'll find a second 5870 and get a new MB.
I really don't believe that will be the case however. I hope I'm wrong.
S!
