SLI

Why did they not include the option for SLI with the gtx 1060 6gig edition?

The question is not why they removed it for that card, but why they included it with any card in the first place.

Because nvidia is actually fucking retarded

Because SLI is stupid.

Juden

because two 1060s would have been faster and cheaper than a 1080 in 2016.

Both AMD and Nvidia are abandoning multi-GPU for gaming. There is no need for it anymore, you can do 4k with a single card and still get playable frame rates on ultra settings on any game. Buy the GPU that's appropriate for the settings you will be gaming at.

>you can do 4k with a single card and still get playable frame rates on ultra settings on any game
AMD can't do that.

~40 FPS on my reference Vega 64 in Fallout 4 on ultra at 4k. It's slightly (barely) better than my 1080.

>40 FPS
>playable

sli never had enough bandwidth

AMD and nvidia are preparing MCM interconnects, I can't wait.

Playable is greater than half the refresh rate of the monitor. Basically all 4k monitors are 60Hz, in fact I haven't seen a 120/144Hz 4k monitor at all.

Not worth it.
Counterproductive.

that has nothing do with the idea of sli

Bad goy, you must buy more expensive 1070/1080 and then you can use SLI

It is because SLI and CF are being phased out.

Multi-card rendering is moving towards pure software solutions.

Fallout 4 isn't exactly a benchmark game user

Something like this but also: market control.

idk what this means

buttcoin to the moon.
if you want to buy gpu buy it now.

Sli sucks

Why is that? Wasn't it because no cable had the bandwidth for it yet?

gaymerfag.

Just wait for magical vega updates

>buying two GPUs in current year
Whoah calm down Daddy Warbucks

The only card that handles close to 60 FPS maxed out is a OC 1080 Ti.

Because they didn't want to spend time and money gimping two 1060s to be slower than one 1080 in software

Abandoning?
I didn't see amd eliminating it from cheaper gpus.
I didn't see them saying that they will phase it out, in fact they will make next generation gpus based on multi-gpu technilogy.
With amd you can go as cheap as a 550 and have crossfire.

But mGPU is shit on lower end GPUs. Its only worth on the highest end models. Don't even try. Xfire is yet shittier than SLI and SLI barely becomes support nowadays.

>I didn't see amd eliminating it from cheaper gpus.
Nvidia has opened up for GPUDirect on some of the higher-end GeForce cards, so there is no need for SLI anymore.
