    The FAQ say that SLI support currently is turned off so it will support it but they havn't got it just right for the beta yet.

    What resolution and cards are you using? Unless they're old cards or a multi-monitor setup you probably won't even need SLi for GW2...

    Inches have nothing to do with what you need, resolution is what's important. A 12" 1920 x 1080 screen takes the same processing as a 100" 1920 x 1080 screen. 

    Crossfire is also not supported at this time and it is suggested you disable it.

    There are only 3 posts on the official forums, go read them before you play and save some heartache.

    They said both SLI and crossfire in the beta faq. For some reason can't I log on to the beta forum right now to quote it for you....

    I thought gw2 was going to be a pretty hardware heavy game, so I purchased a couple 680GTX to replace the old 570 2.5gb SLI. I intend to play at 1980x1020 resolution, which is the native resolution for my monitor. It's a shame if SLI is turned off.

    Well that is some major overkill!  System requirements. NVIDIA GeForce 7800, ATI Radeon X1800, Intel HD 3000 or better (257MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better) I wish I could do that though! 

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    It's turned off for now.. they are working on optimizing graphics. It'll be on before release.

    Oh. Thats is good news for us with cf/sli. When games are from design from scracth with dual cards in mind it often turns out that its a well coded cf/sli game :)
