Lol I still remember my friend buying another new GPU thinking "imma SLI this shit and get so much performance" and eventually sold the other GPU again because he just couldn't get it to work. Only had issues with it, games crashing, worse performance, don't recall a single benefit.

Even getting SLI to work nicely was a pain as there were different bridges running different speeds and depending on which one you used it could either make or break the performance of the card. Worst were the ribbon cable ones but then we got the hard bridges and then there were even faster hard ones and stuff like that. Honestly I would have preferred if they at one point decided to do a full intel and create a new socket and everything to solve the issues and get a clean start instead of trying to get better performance out of a system which didn't work well.
