An unholy SLI emerges — Intel's Arc A770 and Nvidia's Titan Xp pair up to provide 70% boost in FluidX3D


Terrible and great.

With a 70% performance boost, it might seem hard to believe the gaming industry passed up on multi-GPU technology, a sentiment that was echoed by many commentators on the FluidX3D demo. The industry instead took a different direction to get more performance, focusing more on single-GPU setups by making even bigger flagships, which are now "so hilariously large that you can't even fit a single one in a normal PC case, let alone 2" according to Dr. Moritz. Today, multi-GPU is thriving in data centers, supercomputers, and AI-focused systems, where the cost of implementing support is more than worth it.
