| DirectX 10.1 is a minor update and developers are still adjusting to Direct X 10. The move to DirectX 10 is a slow one due to the requirement of Windows Vista and it hasn't really provided that much for gamers currently. Between the sloth performance of Vista in general and additional sluggishness DirectX 10 effects have on current graphics cards, most gamers are sticking with Windows XP. In other words, waiting for a DirectX 10.1 card instead of DirectX 10 is kinda foolish at this point in time. due to the massive lack of software. SLI is a technology that looks great on paper but has been hampered by driver issues and CPU bottlenecks. The driver issues for Windows XP has calmed down a bit but SLI under Vista still has some serious quirks. The CPU bottleneck is the big thing hurting SLI. Processors aren't fast enough to continually feed two graphics cards, especially for single threaded games. There are some clever optimizations that can be done with dual core chips and SLI but developers consider that market too much of a niche to implement them. Crossfire is no different in this regard.
