"SLI doesn't scale beyond 2 cards"
Guess you weren't around in the days of Quad VooDoo 2 GPU rigs. They most certainly did scale. nVidia and AMD's implementation? Nope. They screwed the pooch with that one and will never recover until they learn that the older way was indeed better.
- zamalek 10y agoSLI only matters for gaming - which is outside of the scope of my argument. Regardless, it looks like 3Dfx SLI wasn't that great[1] and I did own a Diamond Monster 3D II.

- lightedman 10y agoDiamond made crap hardware. Creative Labs' cards performed much better. And if your dataset or code is GPU-capable, then no, SLI is quite useful here. "Only matters for gaming" Yea, as if there weren't a bunch of other datasets that could utilize matrix acceleration.
