thedarkstark Posted September 19, 2020 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. Quote

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. Quote

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

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 19, 2020 Author 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
