What are your specs (Mid-Enthusiast Rig owners, mainly)?

From now on, I plan to buy two graphics cards for SLI, rather than picking a dual GPU device. I've heard scaling is better and I know Dual SLI is more efficient than either Tri or Quad SLI (why I never bought a second 690, for instance).

Indeed scaling beyond 2 GPU's has diminishing returns, however if you're sensitive to microstutter it does help greatly.

So, Tri-SLI, for example, would rid microstutter? Because yes, it's annoying :P

What exactly is microstutter? 

It's similar to framerate drops, except that it's a constant "stutter" of motion than can be observed when moving in-game.

So, dual gpu's can cause microstutter or could it happen on just one gpu too? 

If it happens with a single card (not a dual GPU single card), you are having a bottleneck of some sort.
Microstutter in multi GPU solutions is due to bad handling of distributing workload between the cards.

Ah, thanks.  I plan on getting a second gtx 680 sometime and I didn't know much about microstutter, but I think I shouldn't have to worry about microstutter.
