Is anyone using SLI/X-Fire?


I thought about asking what kind of rigs, decks, and lappys we're running this game on.  But ultimately I'm curious as to whether anyones' seen major difference in using more than 1 GPU.

I am using a Toshiba Satego X200 Gaming Laptop.
Its still fast enough for SWG, I think.

I got a Geforce 8800 GT which walks throuh swg as if it wasnt there.
Runs crysis at 80% settings, I did 'try' a dual card set-up for a bit but I didnt see much of an improvement at the time.

SLI/Crossfire will not matter much for games like swg i think.
The engine is pretty old, some update have been made but in the core it will be the same

I have considerd going for crossfire (only thing my mainboard supports) but i decided against it. I prefer 1 fast (single core) card above a multi-gpu sollution. Because you are not depending on the drivers to support/have tweaks for all the games out there. And other possible issues as drawing too much power from your supply.

I am currently running an Intel 2.4 Quad core, 4 gig DDR2 RAM, a ATI radeon HD4870 512MB, a Creative Soundblaster X-fi all on a Asus Maxima Formula (Intel X38 chipset) and offcourse some stuff like HD, DVD drives etc.
All games i played till now i can run on 1900x1200 every possible setting to max (except AA since but thats not really needed at that resolution)

Great! This is very helpful, since I'm in the process of building a new PC. Gonna mess with overclocking and liquid cooling this round.

I'm needing to build me a new PC too (not for SWG which works fine, but Fallout 3 which I still haven't been able to play yet!), but currently running a single core 2.8 AMD Athlon, 1gb RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 and only get a lag when I stupidly go into a guild hall that's been decorated by Pen :p
