Cryostasis scales not good with crossfire or sli.
Cryostasis does not perform well with ati-cards.

Cryostasis doesn't benefit from multiple CPU cores, but it does benefit from PhysX acceleration, be it from discrete PhysX cards or GeForce cards running PhysX code. It may also be possible to use some hacked-up drivers or wrappers to get it up and running on DirectX 10 ATI cards. A patch is forthcoming for ATI cards, but in the mean time: if you're running an SLI system, it may be in your best interests to disable SLI and use PhysX acceleration. That should make it possible to let one graphics board render the graphics while the other handles in-game physics, and it could make up to a 33-50% improvement in overall speed.
