Depends on the video cards.
In general, yes.
You could buy 4 gpus and sli or crossfire them assuming the cards support 4 way crossfire or sli.
It would help if your xeon had a ton of pcie lanes.
Multi-GPU scaling in GPGPU workloads is almost linear provided the host-side software can keep up with multiple GPUs and does a decent job partitioning the task between GPUs. As for SLI, most good rendering software directly support multi-GPU and perform better without the additional SLI/CF hardware abstraction overhead, which is why SLI/CF support is slowly getting phased out in favor of explicit multi-GPU.Multi-gpu scaling is pretty poor.
