Why not? If you can get the cards cheap I see why not since the patch came out!

ok i will do it.

when will the full 13.8 driver be out.i do not like using beta drivers.also i will post build log pics later.might be a month or two. i plan very far ahead.

It's not likely to be release until they have fixed all the exceptions to the functioning of the driver, for example older cards and multiple monitor support

I am good at computer

Very true. SLI is still the most powerful multi-GPU solution but the new drivers do fix the problem more than before.

Usually I don't recommend SLI because of stability issues but AMD cards are getting pretty cheap and their new drivers are out so why not :D

You mean Crossfire. Yes Crossfire does have issues but with the price cuts and all it seems it's finally a good time to multi-gpu AMD cards!

I would do it since they fixed their frame pacing issues and these cards are really cheap right now. Just make sure that your power supply is enough to handle it.
