Will Vista better utilize SLI & Crossfire?

This might be a dumb question, but will dual card configurations (SLI, Crossfire) be better supported in Vista? As it stands currently there's not too much difference between SLI and non SLI, so I was wondering if there were big improvements on the horizon.

I thought I saw somewhere that currently SLI is unsupported by Vista.

I dont really think sli or crossfire will do much of anything with vista. It all depends on the drivers the manufacturers offer and the games. But vista will do alot for dx10 video cards. Should be coming out in the next few months. First of the dx10 generation will be ati's r600 and nvidias g80.

There are big differences between SLI and non SLI when running in high resolutions with SLI AA. As for how SLI and Crossfire will performance will play out in Vista; time will tell.
