I have never had problems with SLi since I discovered only one of my long list of games requires me to press a button that disables crossfire for that one game (RAGE).

The rest work perfectly and always have; maybe because this is not 1997 driver land?

N.B.
Do you think all future games will never be coded to take advantage of crossfire/SLi cards; if so, you need to wake up; SLi/Crossfire is one step of a progressive cycle, just like getting a single card is.

The best bet is to go for the single R9 card if you do not have or do not intend to ever have the excellent stereoscopic 3D by NVidia/Asus; which (I assure you) is STUNNING.

P.S.
NVidia proces have just been forced down, again by AMD, so I would go for two GTX760`s if I were you. Probably.
