Has Maxwell Killed SLI?

[tential]

The news never seems to be good on either side of the fence. Nvidia seems to scale like crud and AMD gets support late. That's why I have always ultimately decided just to get the fastest single I can afford at the time. But I certainly understand why you would want sli if you need 144hz or high res. Glad I'm not sensitive to these things as some users are. I guess I'm lucky that I'm easy to please.

For me, multi GPU would work if I invested in it because I don't play games anywhere close to launch date. I haven't played a game made past 2012 yet.

Memory bandwidth is the issue for nvidia, in SLI if you boost your memory clock substantially the improvements in performance are linear. Maxwell would benefit greatly from HBM.

Single as well, I've never had a card so severely bandwidth limited.
