    Its usually best to throw out some examples. From what I've seen and heard Nvidia did pretty well with sli profiles this fall. The same can't be said about crossfire in the past few months.

    Here is a clip from the Rage3d 7970 review.

    All is not perfect, however. The cooling solution is a compromise; you'll have to settle for less than great acoustics as the fan isn't really quiet enough for a premium product. The second compromise is the biggest - software support. There are plenty of niggles in VECC, and the recent fumble with Saint Row: The Third, Battlefield 3, Skyrim and RAGE launch support doesn't inspire premium product confidence. A continued lack of an option for forced SSAA/Alpha texture AA/SSAO to be added to modern game titles in 2012 isn't premium enough. This is a brand new architecture with all the driver teething troubles accompanying that; you might be settling for less than you can expect for a premium $549 price tag.
