well here how I see 3way and 4way over 2way sli ........ for the one's that can't afford to do 3 and 4way, do to the coast. I have found that they don't want rest of us that have the mean to buy the cards to do 3way and 4way. so that are computers are no faster thin theirs. so my point would be go work harder and quit doing on daddy's money and do on your own like me and some other do . my last build took 2 years to build do to coast but I love doing it and I will do it again lol and big smiles. and just to say I have mine the way I wanted it . there are a hole lot of great computers out there better than mine and some not but I build for me just like u do for u and if someone like's 4way thin sobe it. it's their cash.
It's not all about the "money", but the results. Many point out that the scaling is not really high or much gain going from 2 cards to 3. That is why so many are skeptical and hesitant on doing it. However, there are other areas that they could look at to justify on going 3 way. 4 way, meh... if you're into benchmarking, fine, and honestly to me would be the only reason to do 4 way SLI and/or folding and other programs. Money is not always the factor, nor is Dad. Just saying... based on your paragraph.
