After the first X58/Nehalem previews appeared showing (possible) Crossfire support i must ask:
will NVIDIA give us SLI on Nehalem at launch?
The question is very important since right now i am waiting for a 1GB card that can game at 2560x1600,and i am looking forward to a 4870X2 or a 4870 1gb and future Nehalem Xfire possibilities, so if i pick up a 280GTX right now not only will i be stuck with a subpar solution very soon (mid august for 4870X2) but will also LOSE my SLI possibilities if i change to nehalem (something that i "MUST" do if the previews performance gains of Nehalem over C2D are true)
On C2D lauch i was pretty much "forced" to use an ATI solution since it was much easier to find Xfire mobos.
AND since NVIDIA competes with Intel on the mobo market it is logical to assume that NVIDIA will only be alloud by Intel to make SLI capables Nehalem mobos IF they have the 3D performance crow at launch time, something that right now seems like a (very) long shot.
