Well as almost every popular new game out has crossfire and sli support I don't see why not.  You have to question the wisdom in getting a multi gpu rig though when the performance advantage is only about 35% in most games and yet your paying another

Yes, with the ever increasing performance of single cards, it does not make sense to get two cards that will be surpassed

in the days of voodoo2 sli did make a differance though as graphics chips were kind of underpowered for the games.  SLI ment you could run quake at 1024x768 smoothly  :o

nowerdays the differance between sli and non sli at the highend is 16xaa or 8xaa, you just don't notice as big improvenment  :P
