As a user of SLI I can tell you it isn’t really worth the cost of adding another $700+ video card. SLI support in games is a far cry of what it used to be. In the handful of games that do support it the scaling in performance is very poor to boot. You’re often seeing less than a 30-40% gain in performance for your additional $700+ spent for another GPU.
Don‘t get me wrong, I do really like the idea of SLI and what it brings and I’ve tried multiple GPUs in virtually every generation of GPUs since Nvidia purchased the tech from 3DFx back when SLI stood for “Scan Line Interleave”. However it has clearly fallen out of favor with developers and more often than not support for the tech is left on the cutting room floor These days.
