this question come to my mind.

Has NVidia/AMD stated if SLi/Xfire works in The below scenarios? just curious if anything has been stated.

Internal GPU + External GPU
2x External GPU's

Their are scenarios where people would want this.

Eg ITX build for Lan single GPU in the box/ come home to SLI/Xfire.

  • Not saying this should be done. just curious on what they have stated.

The only official support we have for external GPUs is through Xconnect. http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/xconnect

In theory it might work as long as the external GPU is connected to the same Motherboard as the primary GPU, through a PCI-E riser, but we've not tested or validated this type of configuration so no guarantees.
