Would the devs be so nice to consider adding SLI and Crossfire support? It would be a nice performance boost for those of us running multiple GPUs.
I feel like the amount of people that actually have sli or crossfire is so small that it’s unlikely they’d consider adding support for it
how many of you? 2 or 3? SLI is dead for some 5-6 years at least, so there is no need to add support for that.
noone uses SLI or Crossfire anymore…
Well i don’t know how many. It could be 2-3 or it could be 30% of the player base. You can’t know for sure. That being said, not everyone rocks an RTX 2xxx or 3xxx and adding support for multiple GPU systems, considering it doesn’t change the game experience for single GPU users or anything regarding gameplay/game mechanics, could be an option the devs might consider.
If i’m not mistaken, War Thunder had SLI support at one point, so it’s not like it’s a new concept for them.
SLI was always unpopular solution and it is long dead. even at its height number of SLI users were fraction of a percent, was not supported by a lot of games and when it was supported it caused lots of problems (sometimes even worse performance).
so any modern game will not implement SLI support cause it is too much work for few users. not to mention that NVIDIA killed SLI support in their new graphics cards.
Like i said, not everyone has the latest gen of graphics card or is willing to dump cash as soon a a new one is released. That being said, GTX 10xx and RTX 20xx are SLI capable, so we are talking about 1-2 generations of graphics cards ago, not ancient history.
If you only use it for gaming, maybe. But if you also use it as a workstation for 3d modeling/ rendering, multiple GPUs are still good and it’s a cheaper solution. So it’s not THAT dead yet.
it is ancient history in gaming. while those cards were SLI capable, they were not supported much in games. it caused devs too much problems to fix bugs for very few people who had such setups. depending on solutions they used to utilize second GPU problems would range from micro stuttering, to tearing to weird artifacts. also for double the price it didnt carry enough performance in gaming to justify it. it was more cost effective to buy higher end card cause you would gain more performance with less problems. and that is why SLI support for gaming is dead.
for productivity workload SLI is still used and can be good solution, but those programs can effectively utilize multi GPUs unlike for gaming.
