Would have been good to see 'How many would get SLI if it worked properly'. It is the cheapest way to upgrade GPU performance for older cards but only if the game correctly scales performance.

The Poll should have added the option. "Would you add a second gpu if SLI/Xfire worked?" I have an SLI capable system, but just bought the best single gpu as I know from experience games don't always work that much better with two gpus. If people start seeing significant improvement in COD using SLI/Xfire , I would certainly add the second card. Although the sim runs fine on a single gpu, except for some stutters at treetop level over London. Again if the second gpu got rid of those stutters, and improved performance I couldn't buy the second gpu quick enough.

When the first X-Fire patch came out I was running two Saphfire 5870`S and it was incredible how fast it was,the only thing that was evident was the micro studder low down.There was a problem with graffics anomolies for a vast majority useing other card set-ups and from the time a small patch was introduced a few hours later it went back to the poor performance of before .Now running two 7950`s but still no noticable improvement on a single card and a lot worse than the first X-Fire patch on the two 5870`s I had .
So I gues I would say at present X-Fire does not function.
If the jump in performance could be available as was with the first X-Fire patch I am pretty sure once the figures were seen many more game users would concider X-Fire or Sli if they were concidering the quickest and for some may-bee the cheapest way of seeing a notable performance boost .

What dx10 profile are you using?

I am using twoworlds2.exe and get pretty much 60fps (v sync enabled) everywhere.
