    All 900 series AMD chipsets should support SLI as well as crossfire. A word of advice: Watch out that you don't buy one with a second slot running at x4 bandwidth (especially watch out in 970 boards).
    The 8800 GTX isn't that fast by today's standards, but if you were to stick in a different pair of cards, you might notice.

    Well the 8800GTXs not being that powerful in relation to newer cards was more a reference of how newer cards would be limited by the x4 bandwidth of second slots on many 970 motherboards.

    You could run TF2 on integrated graphics!
