ok,

Nvidia canned NV50 and canceled NV48 - thats why the only thing they can hype is "SLI" and trying to sell their Nforce SLI boards and double the sales of their cards "for SLI"

The sad thing is, many people actually jump on the hype...just from my personal point of view a new generation of GPU is much more interesting and exciting than SLI.

I do NOT exclude ATI there since a new gfx GPU generation is LOOOONG overdue for ATI, too.

I myself am looking sooo forward to both ATI's and Nvidia's next gen GPU's. Shouldn't be too long now

I tink Nvidia will probably still have a new core to compete against the R520 it just wont be the NV50. I can't believe they would just now have an offering to compet with. I agree with you though IMO SLI is not worth the money. WHy spend $1000 now when in 6 months you can spend $500 and have around the same performance or maybe even better.

Because thats the way computers work couillon. You can either buy an item now for $$, or wait till later and buy it for $.

Either way, I agree that SLI is not worth it at all.
