Just curious about what the mood or views about this. I've been playing games and spending money on PC hardware since before the first Voodoo2 SLI solution was released.
I can afford SLI/CF. I just don't want it. Partly because of the energy use, partly because of the heat, partly because of the noise, partly because of driver and game issues, and pretty much least because of cost of buying an extra card.
I feel like most enthusiasts are the opposite of me, welcoming all the articles and in depth reviews of SLI/CF and drooling over getting that extra card. I get the impression that if it wasn't for the cost or the justification of the cost then a lot if not the majority of enthusiasts would have SLI/CF.
I am tired of all the focus on it, I feel that hardware sites and journalists are wasting their time on it that could have been used to go in depth about current and future technology. I feel that manufacturers are wasting their time tweaking their drivers and making game profiles that could have been used for improving drivers for the majority of single card users instead.
Am I alone in thinking this?
I don't understand why you are thinking this.
If the focus is on CF and SLI, it's because Single card have few to no issue as to now. They are focusing on Crossfire and SLI because it's there where more problems can occur.
The more you add cards and/or monitors, the more you have chance of finding bugs.
Single card and single monitor is easy shi...zzle. Plug and play most of the time. For people that don't want to mess around with their rig. (Or noobs, sorry)
