    The key problem that I see with research like this is the amount of resistance you will meet from some members here tied to the hardware community. *ESPECIALLY* if it can be shown on xyz card that SLI or Crossfire yields no benefit when you factor observed frames vs actual frames per second gains from adding another card.

    It is quite likely that what you may in the end prove is what a lot of us m-gpu old timers say that once you reach a certian point adding more cards detracts from peformance not helps which is most apparent when running Tri-SLI or Quad-Fire

    It will also be interesting to see the other theory that microstutter is tied to PCI-E satuation when you compare the difference between say an 8x slot vs 16x slot etc etc. Which is why you see some say that increasing your PCI-E frequency, HTT or QPI helps to reduce microstutter.

    Overall very interesting and what you describe matches my personal experience.
