Here is the missing mix :



The numbers and some board are mixed.

Under some circumstances a multi-GPU system is the way to go, for example a multi-screen setup, but I don´t like the SLI/Crossfire systems because they cost twice the money, consume twice energy, have twice amount of problems but it don´t have the twice performance.

Very true however you wouldn't (or shouldn't) get a multi-GPU setup expecting the performance to increase by the number of GPU's you have. What it does or should give you (if the game code is written well), is a higher minimum level frames per second. Meaning you will reduce the number of times the game goes into a slide show.

Having said that, multi GPU setups do suffer produce micro stutters and it's something that is making me reconsider my future setup after the patch.

S!

Last time I had multi-GPU was with VoodooII and playing EAW etc. It really made a difference and worked flawlessly. Nothing like today when you see tons of threads with problems reported from both camps. I stick with single GPU for now Seems to work just fine with enough performance
