it depends on how much later we're talking about

like for me, I'll keep my setup maybe for 2 years before I upgrade
My old set up was still able to play games like BF3 at Ultra setting and bring in 40-50 fps avg. That was with two cards, and me wanting to play at "max" settings. If I dropped it down a notch one card would have been able to support the game but not at ultra at the rate my two were working.

In the end, its up to you. if you don't play to crossfire/sli. Its better to upgrade when you want to.
