Significant Issue with CrossFire to be Aware of
Figured I should make a thread about this issue in this forum as well in case you guys aren't aware of it.
Long story short: Basically, it appears that the actual output frames (not the frames "rendered") by cards in CrossFire on more GPU demanding games as apposed to CPU demanding/limiting games are about the same as if using one of those cards by itself. In these situations having an addition card in CrossFire appears to have little to no significant benefit, and may actual be a detriment to observable performance.
For more info visit the following link and/or watch the following videos.

Hopefully AMD can resolve this issue shortly. I know I would be very concerned (to say the least) if I had gone with CrossFire AMD cards instead of having gone with SLI NVIDIA ones.
