Firstly, what is SLI?
It’s a technology that scales graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in an SLI-Certified motherboard. This simply means that you can get more performance by putting 2 (or 3) same graphic cards together.
A few reasons why I don’t like SLI:
1. In practise, the performance increase is only 20%-50% at maximum. (Nvidia claims up to 100%. Right)
2. Some really good games don’t support SLI, this means only 1 card is used, wasting the other card.
3. In the early days, there were incompatibilities with games that were supposed to run on SLI.
4. Now, there’s ‘micro stutter’, irritating and probably game-experience breaking.
