    Crossfire went internal for their connection. SLI still uses a physical connection. So the motherboard is different (from what I understand).

    Da"*ç&. This is a no go for me as long as I have such a fast computer...a new mobo and CPU/RAM etc even though the Radeon is a cheap and powerful card is not worth the cost.

    Plus you would have to go all in for VR since the Radeon won't run your current 3d Vision setup.
