I am well aware that SLI does not double RAM, and CloD does not 'run bad' for me, hasn't really been bad since the original release unlike some.

The sli needs development, and that is simply not the future for business, as they do not earn money in supporting it -

It works for Nvidia because they get to sell two cards to the same person, in turn they do the driver optimisations for SLI for games submitted to them by developers. All that is needed is an engine which works properly in the first place.

I would be dumb to actively support selling old trash and let it produce longer than necessary. The business looks like this, even stronger in such a fast developing technology sector. The card lifetime is calculated to be produced for a certain period. Afterwards the card gets a non focussed object and is obsolete.

Que?

Concerning 3d: Okay I know, what you want to say. Infinite depth without focus is used in 3d games. In films you often have to follow the focus of the producer and other scenes behind it are washed out. Both, infinite and producer customized depth and focus, are not sufficient and natural methods to solve the problem. The eye simply behaves other ways. In infinite depth, your eye can look on all details, bit the surrounding do not get washed oit or out of focus. That is the same problem, only vice versa. And all the lies, which your eye needs to manage, is so high, that it is a very big problem.

I talked to some specialists from frauenhofer institute and they also introduced technology like eye tracking and and eye focus tracking, but this is decades away and still not working sufficient, because our eye is so damn fast. So, simply gimmick for the next 10 or 20 years. Fact!

Thats all very interesting but not directly related to the subject in hand.

In summary, I understand you may not like SLI and and don't use it yourself, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be supported for the benefit of those that do.
