How many users have SLI/Crossfire?

[Chivas]

The Poll should have added the option. "Would you add a second gpu if SLI/Xfire worked?" I have an SLI capable system, but just bought the best single gpu as I know from experience games don't always work that much better with two gpus. If people start seeing significant improvement in COD using SLI/Xfire , I would certainly add the second card. Although the sim runs fine on a single gpu, except for some stutters at treetop level over London. Again if the second gpu got rid of those stutters, and improved performance I couldn't buy the second gpu quick enough.

Xfire does work! Doesn't it?

I would be using 2 cards if it was supported as suggested above. As soon as it is, I will be getting a second card.

If alot of users have a single 580 and were told SLI works and increases performance by about 50% = more planes on screen / better FPS, would they upgrade ? i suspect the answer would be YES! (as soon as I get some money)

Why waste a perfectly good 580 to upgrade to a 680 when a second 580 would do the job - the 580 is a great card! Like comparing spits and mozzys.

I have two 580's and one of them has only helped to keep my PC case on the floor. It would be nice to be able to use it though

I have the same, just 2 570´s instead. Im not a engineering, but know it can be complex. Still it amaze me, that here in 2012 its is now here in the Sim. How long have the Crossfire and SLI been arround? It should be basig stuff. Mabye its just more complex that I would understand?

Hm... well the power consumption of two of 580s vs one 680.... I would rather sell my 580 and use the cash for a 670...


EDIT: Sorry that was meant to be quoted to the post above...

When the first X-Fire patch came out I was running two Saphfire 5870`S and it was incredible how fast it was,the only thing that was evident was the micro studder low down.There was a problem with graffics anomolies for a vast majority useing other card set-ups and from the time a small patch was introduced a few hours later it went back to the poor performance of before .Now running two 7950`s but still no noticable improvement on a single card and a lot worse than the first X-Fire patch on the two 5870`s I had .
So I gues I would say at present X-Fire does not function.
If the jump in performance could be available as was with the first X-Fire patch I am pretty sure once the figures were seen many more game users would concider X-Fire or Sli if they were concidering the quickest and for some may-bee the cheapest way of seeing a notable performance boost .
