      Possibly, now that we have much tighter integration between different chips using die-to-die interconnects like Apple’s “UltraFusion” and AMD’s “Infinity Fabric” to avoid the latency and microstutter issues that came with old-fashioned multi-GPU cards like the GTX 690 and Radeon HD 7990 XT.

      As long as software can make proper use of the multiple processing units, I think multi-GPU cards have a chance to make a comeback… at least if anyone can actually afford the bloody things. Frankly, GPU pricing is a bit fucked at the moment even before we consider the idea of cards with multiple dies.

        Is it worth it to do this with something like a 3070?

          You can’t. I think. The new gpus don’t have even wn option for sli or similar. If you want a multi-gpu setup where the gpus work together you will need specific Hardware

            That was actually my assumption, my roommate in college had two 970s using an SLI bridge. Couldn’t remember if that stopped being a thing, it always seems like such a cool tech at the time.

            Now I feel like a grizzled between after surviving the 10, 20 , 30 and then on arrival of the 40 series finally upgraded to a 3070.

            My single 970 was a workhouse for so long and now it’s dedicated to the sims 4 for my girlfriends computer hahah.
