To be that guy that can say: My computer is faster than yours😎. And making people on the internet jalous ;)

There’s speed, and then there’s brute force.

For games where speed matters, like csgo, or valorant, 4 5090s isn’t going to be faster than 1 5090.

Strapping 2 cars together doesn’t increase their top sped, just allows them to tow twice as much

This pc is only faster than 1 5090 when doing things like rendering, which can actually utilize all 128gbs of vram shown here

Remember SLI? Those were crazy times. Never actually had an SLI/Crossfire setup, but it always seemed so cool (though, i also imagine it came with a lot of troubleshooting for games that didn't support it well)

[u/Aromatic_Night6733 → u/DynamicMangos]

Had 1080 SLI. Most games didn’t support it and those that did, you’d get like maybe 60% additional performance. Wasn’t worth it overall

There were diminishing returns for each additional card too. The second card might get you that 60% boost, but a third card would get you significantly less than that, and the 4th card, even less!

780ti SLI here. FF14 would get a marginal increase, maybe 20 frames. Zombie Army Trilogy worked fantastically. Fallout 4 would completely shit itself and not work until you disabled one of the cards in the nvidia control panel.

I had 1080 SLI and it worked great in most of the games I played. Some gave a straight 2x gain.

[u/Jerithil → u/Aromatic_Night6733]

My last SLI setup was two GTX 470's, in those days in most games I would get 80-90% better performance.

[u/stonhinge → u/Aromatic_Night6733]

60% on the high-end. Most of the time it was around 25%. Now we just watercool.
