Support for dual GPU cards and two CPUs in consumer hardware! A rare double feature of getting the future wrong.

  ML folks definitely load their systems up with GPUs. Having gobs of slots makes complete sense. It's not SLI, that doesn't seem to be happening at the moment, but scaling out pretty great! But all the companies making PCIe switches have gotten bought out & consolidated & now making a high-PCIe-slot motherboard costs absurd bazonga-bucks. The market has priced itself out of reasonability.

      I get your defensiveness & you are not wrong, but a good number of the people buying flagship consumer GPUs are doing so as prosumer ML hackers. It seems semi likely we'll see multi-GPU again on real consumer, in the next 10 years.

          You're thinking of SLI/Crossfire, I think. Multi-GPU has always and will always be a thing, as long as your CPU exposes enough PCI bandwidth to address both cards.
