I'm looking into upgrading my Gaming machine with a new GPU configuration. I want to avoid specifics and try to keep things on topic, so in general, am I likely to get better performance by putting 2 mid-range GPUs in an SLI or CrossFire configuration, or spending twice the money on a single high-end GPU?

I don't know a ton about GPU technology, so I'm looking for an answer that explains the pros and cons of each in a way that will help me figure out what's best for me.

This is a pretty broad question, but the cons (just as broad) could be like this:

SLI/Crossfire - require some tweaking, set up to work

Two cards require more power

Two cards Add heat

Two cards run two fans = a bit more noise

Most would suggest that one single more powerful card will give you less headache, work with more software, and use less power (along with the other points I listed above).
