I too usually stay clear of SLI setups. I just overlooked that the 690 was a SLI on the card itself. I just wanted the baddest card I could get my hands on as I wanted to play ARR on the absolute highest settings. And I have spend a lot of money upgrading everything in my PC so far xDDD

But again, I do have faith that in the Live version at least that I will be able to play without any SLI issues.
Otherwise this 690 purchase is a lot of money wasted if I would have been much better off with a single 680 instead xD
