Problem is also that multi-GPU rigs have to be purposely designed, mostly by having a motherboard with twin PCIe slots, which is not on your average motherboard thats shipped with your home PC, so its not an option to simply "upgrade" a normal PC into SLI, youd have to build it yourself from the ground up. Who would go through that effort if you can just buy a single beefier graphics card for the same or less money of 2 lower end ones?

@@builder396 I think most good motherboards can handle it. The bigger issue for me is that the price of used GPUs doesn't drop as fast or as much as they used to. So I never got a chance where it made sense to buy a second 970, by the time the used prices finally started to drop, I needed more VRAM anyway and had buy a newer card with more VRAM.

For 3D VR you need two ocular references for binocular depth perception - say for hand/eye co-ordination in an interactive sim. I wonder that two gpu cards might handle the L/R processing and output their combined scan into a single signal composite that bump maps, texture wrap's, and contour trace's collision physics or otherwise combines object surfaces from slightly different views for an over the Plane 3D object semi-holo render, rather than a paper doll screen plane object with orthogonal render map (2D) and screen vector rasters for adding the onscreen world and its objects movement... or something like that.

That's one way to look at it. It is simply because not enough people were using it. Developers don't like to serve minorities.

You are in drug

true, but multi-GPU also was the only way to go beyond the best possible performance for one part. For example the quad 1080Ti SLI set a rasterization record that the current 4090 only barely beat and it still had to be overclocked to do it. That's basically tech from almost a decade ago still managing to take home a win against the best of the modern world. if you were a person who truly wanted the absolute best with absolutely no concerns outside of performance then running multiple GPU's has been, and could still be the only way to take it to the next level past just water cooling and overclocking current tech. There is definitely a place for SLI and crossfire even if it is just another niche like custom water cooling, delidding, sanding, liquid metal thermal 'pasting', and liquid nitrogen cooling.

@Johnny Casserole I have left SLI for what is was 2 years ago, was sick of the constant misery after a driver update, micro stutter and less and less titles supporting it (sometimes even got lower frame rates than a single GPU). Been building since the 80s, have seen the rise and fall of many stuff. SLI for gaming is dead, for editing/rendering other stuff/streaming/multiple monitors it can be unbeatable. Not this video, but your comment is bragging rubbish....

@Johnny Casserole You didn't watch it or pay attention then. Game devs are done with it.

@@SimonLeBonbonbon That's the problem with SLI and Crossfire, it's at the mercy of game developers. These game engines don't directly communicate with the card anyways. They utilize a standard API such as DirectX. There is a huge performance gain in forgoing the API but game devs aren't going to heavily customize their engines for each kind of GPU out there. So since most of the heavy work is done by the API anyways, then parallel GPU optimization should really be mostly on the shoulders of the API. The protocols for parallel GPU gaming need to be developed from scratch is they even bother to do that. In the next 10 years we'll start to see the lines between CPUs and GPUs blur and what we know to be a motherboard and its components likely be far different by 2030. So R&D is likely not on GPU parallelization.

@@krozareq Totally agree, unfortunately Johnny Casseroles comments are removed so I will modify my comments a bit. I can understand the support for SLI/CF dropping since it has become a niche market with less adepts. But when you compare current GPU's with those 10-15 years ago, there has been a massive performance gain. Who knows what we will experience in 10 years from now (I will be retired by that time) Whether the graphics calculation will move to integrated instead of discrete will only be clear once we are there. Perhaps (swapable) GPU's on motherboards just like current CPU's are used. That integrated graphics will have more processing power is without a doubt so perhaps GPU's eventually become a niche market.

@@krozareq I i wouldn't necessarily blame the motherboard, what about the graphics cards that use one pci-e slot with twin gpu's inside of them, like the GeForce 9800 Gx2?

I think it would make sense to give the decision into the hands of the game developers so they can test it all out and verify if SLI or DX12 multi GPU gives more performance, than the devs can get in touch with the driver developers and tell them to disable SLI for their title if e.g. DX12 is available.

@@Rararawr Sounds like a problem except it isn't since most of the workload from VR is effectively having to render double the framerate. Since a single frame of VR is actually quite easy to run since 90hz effectively requires 180fps from the gpu, two gpu's would make sync trivially easy since now the gpu's have a much smaller workload than a typical game.

Was just about to say this but unfortunately no big VR developers seem to care about multi GPU support.

I do wonder how well this would work with a Ryzen 3900 or 3950x. Would it be possible to split the load so each chiplet handles an individual gpu allowing it to work essentially as two separate systems. As the images they are rendering are pretty much the same I would expect relatively equal frame rates then just scale both displays to the slower of the two frame rates. I suspect this approach would work pretty well because it would allow excellent single threaded performance when necessary as well as plenty of cores for each gpu in multi threaded applications. Also, It might help with windows scheduling problems. Are they are still a thing?

@@Rararawr But they don´t get out of sync because the image is still transfered over 1 cable to the HMD. The image from the second GPU needs to be copied over to the main GPU first anyways. An having developed software to support it I can tell you that it works flawlessy.

GD FL3X then you are wrong

You can stream vr pretty well on a single high end graphics card. Rendering is pretty cpu dependent and dlss seems to be nvidias route for good fps with dxr

For streaming you dont really even need a gpu just a good enough cpu.

So realistically Nvidia shouldnt have released a card that is both your GPU and Ray Tracing, but a card that links to your main GPU and this new card does NOTHING BUT the Ray Tracing. Think that would of went over better and would have given a legitimate reason to SLI and such, aka Ray Tracing on single card isnt possible so here is the RTX 2010 use your 1080TI for the frame rate and the 2010 handles the Ray Tracing. Also would of meant a more "reasonable" price for the Ray Tracing card.

Practical ray tracing requires cuda cores in addition to RT cores and they need ultra high bandwidth communication like being in the same die. The performance cost of ray tracing isn't ray tracing. It is the shaders that process what is ray traced. Traditional renderer benefits that adjacent pixels do similar things and touch nearby data. But with ray tracing that locality is broken. Currently main problem with ray tracing is on the software side. Turing is extremely powerful graphics engine that only tiny fraction of what is possible has been utilized inorder to use more of the code that was written when targeting pascal cards. Anyway just bought 2070 super, and soon could test programming it in practice. However my current project doesn't use RT cores but is mostly about integer compute. And the 1660 ti has higher integer peak performance compared to 1080 ti. openbenchmarking.org/showdown/pts/clpeak Turing has many cost effective improvements that all require software that is completely different to what is written for Pascal to be fully utilized. My favorite graphics feature would allow Turing to run games at 144 fps even with all the ray tracing effects on. But it is one new feature that Nvidia warns developers about how much work it is to use. And we have seen how long it has taken developers to implement "IT JUST WORKS" easy stuff :D

How to be smart like you guys

@@jouniosmala9921 Let me see if I got this right. The issue is not that RT cores aren't fast enough. RT cores trace rays more than fast enough for viable real time ray tracing. The issue is that doing something with those rays once they are traced requires traditional shaders, which have always been built to rely on predictable data usage. The shading performed when ray tracing requires a lot of random data access (meaning completely unpredictable), which neither software nor hardware is able to compensate for effectively. The performance hit from ray tracing is basically because GPU shaders spend a lot of time doing nothing while waiting on data. There is a lot of performance left over, but it is limited by latency. Simply put, the actual process of tracing rays is easy for RTX GPUs, but doing something useful with them causes a GPU to spend a lot of time idling while waiting on data since GPUs are built with a focus on high bandwidth and not low latency. This is something game developers and hardware manufacturers both need to figure out. I think AMD's RDNA architecture has a caching system designed to help solve this problem. Hopefully it won't be too long before we start seeing ray tracing capable GPUs from them, because I think they will be able to handle it very well. It certainly makes sense to me since next gen consoles are going to be ray tracing with Navi. Real time ray tracing is still in its infancy, and there is a lot of work left to be done to optimize it. Everybody seems to love hating on ray tracing, but it looks gorgeous and the performance is there. It just isn't easily accessible performance. Even as it is ray tracing isn't awful, but I do hope to see it improve. I have high hopes for the future of ray tracing in games, regardless of what people think right now.

1) Could something like frame interleaving solve this? In fact this is where SLI originally got its name, Scan-Line Interleave, before Nvidia bought 3DFX and changed the name to "Scalable Link Interface". I see the problem you describe as being a problem with the AFR scheme.

Amd doesn't have the resources for implementation for drivers and support. 3. People don't use it. Even when the 290x had like 85%+ scaling less than .1% of people actually did it. And AMD isn't really known for catering to select few

No we were not lol

DX12 supports it but devs didn’t implement it. However if gold standard starts next at 8k they may start supporting it as the way DX12 supports more then 1 GPU was massively better. Though sli would raise frames rather well it didn’t really lower lag as much a just getting a better card. Why Bc the gpu is rendering a frame after the gpu b4 it even post its frame. Though this cuts down on lag nothing will beat rendering after the gpu as posted the frame b4 it if all else is the same. So 2 960 may have made you feel good Bc you can hit 60/144fps but a 980 doing it with one card was just better.
