Period
LOL- if you're like me and a fan of multi-GPU this pretty much says it.
You weren't a fan of multi-gpu until Nvidia had one out that competed with the 4870x2 :disgust:
I remember you pretty much calling out the 4870x2 and touting the GTX280 as the better card.
You won't be able to link to a post I've made that states I don't like multi GPU cmdrdredd, on this board or any other.
I've owned/used more multi GPU sets than anyone on this board most likely and always have multi GPU in my box when it's available.
Don't confuse me saying that multi GPU and single GPU are separate markets due to the idiosyncrasies of multi GPU, and pointing those idiosyncrasies out to back my position as me saying I don't like multi GPU.
If you can't link to what you say I've said, I think you should apologize and edit.
BTW:
5 sets of Voodoo 2 SLi
Rage Fury MAXX
6600GT SLi
6800 SLi
6800GT SLi
7800GTX SLi
7900GT SLi
7950 GX2
7950 GX2 SLi
8800GTX SLi
8800GTX SLi 3 way
GTX280 SLi
GTX295
These are the multi GPU configs I've owned/used. When you consider cards, cases, power supplies, and the 30" monitor I bought specifically to show scaling of 3 way I've spent literally thousands of dollars on multi GPU over the past 15 years.
I just spent $1700 on a i7 extreme board and RAM to push the GTX295, based on an article at Guru3d that showed if I get another, or go 3 way again, it will help with CPU limitation. The water cooled QX9650 I had wasn't CPU limited for any single GPU, so I had no reason to buy this other than multi.
That is "being a fan of multi GPU" on a level most people won't get into.
