Unimpressed by the current situation but wouldn't be surprised if it would prove to have a good future a couple of generations ahead. Market adaptation should also improve the value over time, if both nVidia and ATI have their minds set to see this through.

Blackboost

I think it looks great and sounds pormising, but right now I'm not that impressed with the results so far, plus the investment can be tough for the wallet.

Spookyy

No use really.

Some say, buy 1 now and add another to get better performance when the newer game demands it.

Thats just stupid because after 1 or 2 generations the new games will use features that those old SLI cards dont have, so you got to invest in 2 new cards everytime.

Waste of cash. 1 slot is the way to go.

Danhill

Im unimpressed, I doubt ill buy it:

It's expensive, even more heat, problems with games and the list goes on.

There's alot of room for improvement, so yes, SLI is good, and is here to stay.

not for me thanks. The cost is just too high now. I remember when I had VoodooII SLi - that setup cost me less than my x800Pro did.

i'll think about it, but i wouldn't want to spend money on two 6600GTs in SLI when i can get one 6800GT for better performance at around the same price as two 6600GTs. It'll probably come into mind once i see a need for it, but for now, one card will do just fine.

I doubt that if my video card gets old, I'll buy another old card to get my system back up on par...

On another note, I'm really confused how the current mobos support SLI (that is two PCIe x16 ports) since current chipsets only support up to 32 PCIe lanes. Keep in mind that mobos have some lanes dedicated to PCIe x1 as well for other devices...
I might be wrong with this one, feel free to correct me.

Update: Actually, the limit is 20 lanes for NF4 (Intel does not share this info on their site...)

Well I've got an SLi board, but I have no intentions of ever using the SLI function, Single All the way baby.

My board is the A8n-SLi Deluxe i bought it for use with my X800XT, the other features are great, 4 SATA2 connectors, firewire 10usb ports, dual gigabit lan etc. Features that weren't available on non SLI boards.

I think SLI was proved a non-starter back in the VooDoo days, with the rate of new graphics cards hitting the market buying two really isn't an option. If they made it so you could use two different cards like a lower and higher spec the outcome would be different.

e.g.:

1: GPU 1 (fast)
added later on - 2: GPU 2 (faster)

then

1: GPU 2 (faster)
2: GPU 3 (a lot faster)

So when you upgrade you replace your older card,

bah does anyone know what i'm blubbering about, i lost my train of thought....

Should add the option to vote for too expensive. I'd rather pay for 2 cpu's instead.

its too expensive, has many bugs, and is not always faster than single

I think it is a great idea, but has to have the bugs worked out of it before I spend the money.

Given time with alot of bug fixes, maybe yes. But as of right now, nope, not worth it.
