Are single Dual GPU Graphics Cards a dead market for NVIDIA? The last card produced was the Titan Z about five years ago. I think it's a safe bet to say it's dead. Or if NVIDIA did revise the technology. Where do you think it could go or how could it also be improved?

I say absolutely not! This is why..... RTX. A card in that configuration would be great to give gamers the oomph they need to run RT at sensible rates. What would sink it is the nonsensical prices they are charging for there cards. If they ever come back down to earth, besides being able to grab the performance crown they can score the baddest card on the planet title all while running PhysX with it too.

For what they would cost the heat they would generate, would it actually be worth having two GPU's on one board? I highly doubt it would be worth buying, especially since NVidia liked to set the price at 1.5x each GPU rather than keeping the cost close to the same as a single GPU.
The Titan Z was a great example.. a $1000 GPU plus another $1000 GPU = $3000... with no real advantage over SLI at that time, except it could fit into a smaller case. I would say that unless they are using the lower tier GPU, like the 2080, that there wouldn't be much of a market.. BUT, people constantly prove that completely wrong and spend WAY more than what NVIDIA should be getting for no real gain.

People spend exorbitant amounts of money on their hobbies. Folks spend hundreds on that special cartridge for a turntable, or thousands to get that last 0.1% in the quarter mile. For example, I see you have the Classified 1080 listed in your specs. Why did you spend extra on that when in reality, it pretty much performs within the MoE of any other 1080 99% of time? Baaa baaa...right?  Not trying to be a Richard, but hey, you have a small pole in your eye.

Only way I could see it being worth it is if the card was built to work together in every game with no single card performance for games not made for SLI. As for cooling it's simple as just having water cooling. I really could see people spending a lot if it was able to do that.

I am guilty myself. NO Doubt but I'm the (waiter)I have a classified because I purchased it for $250 off brand new. Who wouldnt??? I learned my lesson a long time ago about chasing the latest greatest. Thiers a smart way to buy tech and a painfully way to buy tech ( unless your rich then please give me three) Upgrading tech constantly yields high cost with only small real world performance increases. Sorry if I upset anyone was trying to have fun, I love gaming I just feel Nvidia takes advantage of us. I buy Evgs because I feel they give the best bang for the buck I also learned Classified cards are designed for Extreme overclocking next card will be a FTW much better daily gamer in my opinion

Remember Quad* SLI, back then that is what we called it. I still have 4 GTX 690 HC Sig Cards sitting in a box somewhere  *Only Found on Duel GPU Graphics Cards.

Wow thier a classic. I have to laugh at myself every motherboard I have had has sli or 3 way but after playing with SLI I returned the 2 cards and got one more powerful card to little support. Remember dedicated PhysX cards?

I don't think I even really knew what physx was till batman, buy that point it was part of my gpu. Honestly I was a console gamer until a friend gave me a gtx 260 which was old by the standards but it truly opened my eyes to gaming
