I agree with Cool Barn. When it comes to software, ATi is winning!

I have to admit I have mostly always owned ATI cards up to today.
The reason I would go for SLI is because it is more mature to this point.
The chipsets for crossfire are pretty new.
Anyways I only have a 1 card solution so I can't really tell you wich one I prefer by personal tests...

One sweet point of rATi fanboys is in future crossfire setups you won't need a master crossfire card which is great.

That would be nice! I hate that huge card, and the external dongle. I do my best to keep things tidy, that's the last thing I would need! I've heard of problems getting them to run together, running the wrong slots, drivers but that's all chipset stuff.

I may be an nVidia guy, but I'm really interested to see how things pan out for ATI! If they can bring it together more, it'll be a real winner !

Gonna have to wait for the 7900 to be released and then we will see how things are SLi/Crossfire wise and in single cards situations. Overall SLi wins me over and ATI needs to get all the kinks out of Crossfire after all SLi has been you much longer.

Wow I really thought it would be SLI winning by a large margin.
Weird thing is Crossfire as a lot of votes wich surprises me.
Are there lots of you guys out there using a crossfire setup ?
Anyways its a pretty tight race in this poll !

never really liked how SLI went public, was bad really bad, i vote for crossfire cauze the technology came late, but better implemented and then again the future of crossfire seems very promising

Gotta go with SLI on this one, as my mobo is SLI, and I can't/won't change mobo's for Crossfire... I would like to support my fellow countrymen, as ATI is based in Canada, but I'll have to pass on this one

Crossfire is much faster than SLI in tests (this was a few months now so not sure if ture now) and its a lot simpler to setup than SLI no stupid bridge to connect the two cards together so when i have the money will go with Crossfire 100%
