Just had my job start date confirmed so I'm gonna start planning out the new computer I was gonna build, and wanted to build something that should last me quite a few years before being out-dated, and figured linking two top-end graphics cards together, although overkill, would make it capable of handling anything games companies could throw at me for the next few years.
nVidia's multi GPU technology is called SLI
AMD's multi GPU technology is called CrossFire

Just about every medium end card and above supports the technology, but you also need a mother board that has multiple PCI-E 2.0+ slots and your motherboard specifications if it supports one or the other technology.

In general I recommend getting a single "decent" card over two equally priced "okay" cards because some games don't support GPU scaling that well, like XIV for example only supports it in fullscreen mode.
