In realtime, you have to worry about added latency from SLI, and also the drop to 8x speed if you have a Z-series motherboard. Neither of these is an issue with non-realtime renderering. For that, you're mainly looking at just two specs: sum of all your cards' cores =3D rendering speed, and max VRAM on the smallest card =3D scene complexity.

I'm budgeting for next year. Looking to add a = second GPU in the artist machines.

Thanks for any input.=
