AM3 & Dedicated SLI Going the Way of the Dinosaur?

I’m currently trying to set up my second AM3 system and wanted to go SLI so I went with MSI’s NF980-G65. However in my search for a mobo something became very apparent……nvidia seems to be on the short end when it comes to wanting to do AMD proc with nvidia chipsets for native SLI.
From what I’ve read here and on other sites the nvidia chipsets are p-poor overclockers also. My only experience so far with that would be the 750a that I’ve tried. Initially I thought it was just the way XFX made it as it sucked!
I have heard mention a “hack†in several threads that would allow one to run SLI with AMD chipsets, anyone try that yet??? It’s bad enough I invested in three 470SCs I now need to sell because of picking up two 580s. Then not have any performance mobos to put them in is a bit much!!
So what does one have to look forward to SLI wise?
