You heard correctly. You can check peformance at the benchmark page:
http://ambermd.org/gpus/benchmarks.htm#Benchmarks
Full details of how to use multiple GPUs is given here:
http://ambermd.org/gpus/
Scroll down to "Considerations for Maximizing GPU Performance". Short answer
is that using 1 or 2 GPUs per run is probably the most you should be using
with the hardware you describe. (But go ahead and experiment!)
