nVidia restricts 3080 12GB reviews

Basically nVidia don't want reviews until people buy the cards, after the fact.

I'm not surprised to be honest. The cards are basically going straight to crypto, and My-Nahs don't care about reviews.

Just as well they weren't allowed to buy Arm.

SLI is nigh impossible with DX12/Vulkan, which is just one of many reasons SLI was dropped.

This is false. DX12 was designed from the ground up to support vendor-agnostic multi-GPU.

The reason SLI/CF were dropped is because modern engines use deferred renderers, and that DX12 was supposed to replace it.
