Why focus on the "bad pc treatment"? It's not like consoles had a good treatment either.

To me this isn't an issue because I only buy the strongest single gpu card I can afford

This is why I always prefer having one top tier card as the sli support and drivers are commonly lacking. Obviously if you want 4k with all the goodies sli/crossfire is the way to go.

Yeah i always go single card wont affect me. It is frustrating i would get anither 970 it provides a decent boost, but its no use in games that dont support it.

This time next year that will not be the case. A single gpu should be able to tackle most 4k applications. However a multimonitor setup at 144hz, well... Two years maybe.

We'll see.

http://www.vinereport.com/article/nvidia.pascal.gpu.news.twice.the.bandwidth.promised.amd.expected.to.counter/5251.htm

According to My Gaming, the new GPU will be using Pascal cards, which are reported to feature 17 billion transistors, more than double of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan X (GM200) and AMD's Radeon R9 fury X (Fiji XT) at 8 billion and 8.5 billion transistors, correspondingly.

I don't use Sli/Xfire because you don't get good returns and a lot of developers appear to not know how to (or are too unconcerned) implement it properly.

I prefer to put the extra money to a more powerful single card than two weaker ones for a total of slightly more power. I have a 980TI but I did consider getting SLI 970's, I couldn't afford two 980TI's even if I could have I doubt that I would.

Syndicate and Arkham Knight support multi gpu's. Arkham Knight flickers with my CrossfireX 7850's but gets 60fps with almost everything cranked except for texture resolution. A single one doesn't flicker but has 60% of the frame rate.

Syndicate runs at 60fps at Very High but does have major dips in the low 30's rather frequently.

Pretty much just lazy devs. I wouldn't call it bad pc treatment this time. The game is rough on all platforms tbh.

I have 2x gtx970's, if SLI does not work (did not bother checking as it runs that well) then it means im running the game at 70+fps fully maxed out at 1080p with AA and thats with only one card, combine that with the less than a minute loading times and the bug free experience i am having so far, iit would seem i am far better off than the console gamers seem to be.......so.........

I haven't had an SLI setup in a couple of years, but I could always force SLI for ANY GAME via the nVidia control panel (create a custom game profile and select "alternate frame rendering")...

Not that I could afford two GPUs to SLI, or a top tier single GPU at any rate, but given what I've seen I'd say it would seem preferable to go for the better single GPU...

Well shit. Is it a case of not bothering to support it or "We'all fix it later?"

Oh noes, the stupid people using 2 gpus instead of just having 1 card which works great will totally be affected by this.

Seriously, why 2 gpus? Just get 1 good card, and go with that until there's a much better card out. This much better card will be better than 2 old cards. SLI is for those who hate money.

Never used SLI. Not an issue for me, but it is still lazy and it sucks. BTW, still best on PC.

I never liked the SLI/Crossfire stuff because of its inefficiency and my electricity bills.

Like, my next upgrade will probably be a Pascal card and selling my 780ti (which still pretty much maxes out games like Just Cause 3 btw) instead of another 780ti.

I dunno, it feels less stable to have 2 gpu's. More things that can conflict and go wrong. Most problems I ever had with PC's were with GPU's dying. The idea of having 2 of those heaters close up in my case makes me want to scream.

Holy frack 780ti's are still around $700?! That is more than I paid a couple years back...

Never understood why anyone would invest in SLI.

The support for the feature is wildly inconsistent for every new release.

SLI, when it works, is pretty sweet. However, I've noticed a huge amount of games recently make sli not worth it. I turn off my second 980ti for some games (like GTA 5). I may go from 80+ to 120+ in GTA by using sli, but the lows are lower (dips into the 40s in sli) which causes a huge amount of stutter. I'd rather have a solid 60-80fps than have anywhere between 40 and 144hz. I have gsync, btw. But yeah...sli isn't as great due to the nature of the beast.

I'm waiting for JC3 to get patched up and go on sale anyway...Fallout, Assassin's Creed, and RS have my attention! I don't have time for these games! Damn you, Fall!

@Litchie:

There is no single graphics card capable of playing AAA titles 4k@60fps at high/very high settings. A single 980 Ti/Fury X or hell even a Titan won't do it. Might as well say 4k is burning money from that POV, but some people like there graphics, we're on PC right?

I'm sure support for it will be added to it and Syndicate in the future. I'm not buying it until multi-GPU support is added.

And LOL to the people bashing SLI/Crossfire. Some of us play at (1440p /120+fps) OR (2160p/60fps), so multi-GPU is required if you don't want to drop down the settings.

Multi-GPU has its cons and doesn't make sense to the casual or mainstream population but some enthusiasts want/need the compute power.

I hate that kind of shit, like in Shadow of Mordor, Watch_Dogs and Batman AK. The game gets laggy, when you turn on Crossfire. Lazy, lazy devs.....

Crossfire/SLI has always been sketchy, dunno why people bother.
