Also, SLI/Xfire is for people who want to game at huge resolutions or on multiple monitors. A single card of the next generation will typically outperform 2 cards of the previous generation in an SLI/Xfire configuration, and do it cheaper as well.

Wait and see before you drop come coin!

Using the same reasoning SLI was supported with Il2, but many people reported issues with micro stutters which disapeared when SLI was disabled.

Until we get to test the sim nobody (except the development team) will be able to comment on the potential performance benifits or problems of SLI/crossfire setups with any degree of authority.

With a 5 year planned life for the system, waiting a month or so would seem prudent to me. Others may see it differently. You may need to buy it now! But remember that anyones advice regarding performance or issues with COD is based on guesswork at this stage.

Cheers!
