Yea, i have to say. AMD is quite dissapointing lately with their drivers.
Before it wasn't THIS bad, but these days....

No, it's because you're running a multi GPU setup. Either way, the 580 is a better choice if you want to get rid of those issues.
@ Breezer: Desktop Kepler won't be out until April at the *very* earliest and even then it'll most likely only be GK106, not 104 or better

Uhm, my current setup runs that maxed out (except for deferred AA) with solid 60 fps.
Cuz performance wise, dual HD6870 is virtually the same (a little better) then a single 580.

So i guess that for now, i will just have to bite the dust and hope that the issues with xfire keep being to a minimal?

you can turn off CF for individual games no ? I'd just do that for the time being, for the games that have/make issues.

Well for current games, i have to turn of crossfire for Skyrim and AC:R (Skyrim still does better on 1 card (AMD blames the devs and not their drivers), while AC:R gives microstuttering and sometimes drops to ~30 fps, while 1 card gives solid 60).
As i didn't had this crossfire for long, i cannot say much about other games, only the future will tell

If it's for free, do it. If it'll cost you money, it would be stupid and useless.

Man I wish I had to make these kind of 'hard' choices as you...

Ask yourself this, how many future games are likely to even use half the hardware of the next generation? I doubt there will be even one such game next year, so I'd just get a GTX580 when they're cheapest.

Define "good graphics" using that GPU.
