Seems to be a stupidly hard question to answer it seems. is anyone actually running either Sli or Crossfire, does the game get a boost in speed. its a tad slow at 1920x1200 and dx10 + super high everything, recently since going to the 24" screen i've dropped down settings to keep it as smooth as possible.
Thinking of going the 2x3870 route but, their forums are useless in terms of saying of crossfire/sli offer speed improvements or not.
Likewise, it seems completely ridiculous that neither ATi or Nvidia, from what i can tell, offer a list of games and a maybe guesstimate of what performance boost you get with games. Surely both companies want to sell sli/crossfire as it means two sales instead of one. they obviously test out almost all games for driver bugs and issues, both companies have to know which games work and which ones offer between slight and massive performance increases, is it that big a step to take that knowledge and stick it on a page on their sites?
I'm not a huge fan of nvidia, but seeing as its my main game at the mo i guess i could switch back, vista 64 bit drivers have been shocking every time i use nvidia for the past year though, so not massively keen on it.
Having a look at nvidia site just now, you can find a list of lots of games that work with sli, but no indication in the slightest of what performance benefit there is, which is the key info.
Need a list for instance say for crossfire that said, hl2 +30% performance, Lotro + 10%, Crysis + 2%, Cod4 +60%, UT3 +4%. along those lines, for most games, in which case if you only play crysis, lotro, ut3, it won't help you. if you mostly play cod4 and hl2, it could give you a pretty big boost.
But my main issue here is nothing anywhere seems to say if lotro gets a boost from sli or crossfire.
