It is survived by DX12 "Native Game Integrations" and its goldfish Reggie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Let's be real, it was always dead. I'd have to imagine less than .1% of gamers ever utilized it, in fact judging be Steam hardware surveys it's probably exponentially less than that.

During the 5xx-9xx series both SLI and Crossfire were pretty popular. Both ATi and nVidia even had single cards with two GPUs on it for SLI/Crossfire without needing to buy two cards.

Popular is a relative term, popular among enthusiasts sure but popular in general? Nah. Spending double for 15% performance increase was never mainstream.

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Wide spread it was not, but it was how I was achieving 4K gaming in 2016! Good night sweet prince, you truly became a hideous goblin king toward the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
