Having two GPUs is basically double performance if a game scales well. But if scaling is bad you might only get a 50% increase. You should expect a 70-90% increase in most AAA titles, but first check the scaling of the games you play. Also make sure your MB supports it, and you meet the power requirements.

it depends on what model your GPU is, some games cannot handle dual cards very well but I think with dual cards you'll get a 40% increase in performance at least, but overall a single card is more stable and easier to manage

Most game that need more GPU horse power (AAA titles) do very well with Dual graphics, then for Indie game you can turn off Dual graphics if you have a problem since you will most likely hit the FPS cap in those game with just one. So Alienjorgito what game do you play and what GPU is it that you will be Crossfireing or SLIing?

I think games like Titanfall don't handle it very well
