- Not everything is ready driver wise for the 4870X2. You have to use CAT 8.8 beta at this stage as 8.7 won't recognise the card.
- If this an issue with both SLI and Crossfire setups then I would put that down to IL-2, not the cards. You have to remember SLI and Crossfire was only a wet dream when the Pacific Fighters engine came out.
- SoW will (I hope) be optimised to take advantage of Dual GPU/CPU set ups. Which is what I'm really aiming for.
Before IL-2 I've been testing the card on STALKER, Crysis, Jerico and ETQW and I have found no problems at all.
The only problem I've come accross is ARMA but thats because it doesn't like VISTA 64 with 4GBRam 
My system (nothing overclocked):
E8400
4GB DDR3 Corsiar 1333
GA-X48T-DQ6
PowerColor 4870X2 2GB
150GB WD Raptor

OK. I see here that you didn't mention your monitor. I bet it's a whopping 30-inch Dell! As for SOW or any sim being configured for dual GPUs, I suppose it's possible. I know SOW will be able to make use of at leat dual core cpus. That's been stated in these forums already. Also, generally speaking, Crossfire or SLi implementation is not on the particular sim itself but rather on the particluar mode (SLI r Crossfire). At least that's how I understand it. The dual-gpu thing with microstutters seems not to be limited to one mode either. Maybe microstutters is not an issue if both gpus are on the same card? One other little tidbit here: Voodoo (remember those cards?) used to own the SLi tech before it was bought by Nvidia. It was called scan line interface then, but Nvidia calls it something else now. People ran dual Voodoo cards in a galaxy long ago and far, far away.
