It was never discontinued. ChatGPT runs on Nvidia cards who are linked together using NVLink. Why then did SLI "fail"? Compare the SLI transfer speeds to that what they use to power H100 GPUs. This is the actual amount of bandwidth you would need. Bit Nvidia thought that it would be just fine to limit the PC market to a bandwidth that can literally do nothing. If Nvidia had used the same bandwidth in PC hardware, everyone would be using SLI/NVlink now.
@@JT_6233 I think its also because having one more powerful gpu than two always gave higher fps. Due to same bandwidth issue most of time only was of the card worked in most game when I had it. CPU bottlenecked lol.
crossfire still works to this day btw, its just not advertised its just sli that got its support dropped, but even then, it was only support that was dropped, meaning its still technically possible.
It was only discontinued for the consumer market. ChatGPT uses Nvidia systems that are linked together with the successor NVLink and insane bandwidths. So no, it never disappeared
But the real problem is, the Nvidia SLI got discontinued and support dropped, this mean that drivers are obsolete and probably today the Drivers that works with SLI are incompatible with New Games...

@@JT_6233Hardly the same thing, the old SLI bridges had pitiful bandwidth compared to NVLink. AMD ditched their bridge in the later years, you could Crossfire R9 Furies with just x4 PCIe lanes with no performance loss vs 8x or 16x.
Way more advanced. Even when SLI and NVLink were still a thing for the consumer market, the bandwidth was sooo much slower than what the server GPUs used. Nvidia did this on purpose
Actually no id love if it actually worked and let me do a 2x fps everytime i double, i could then run cyberpunk 2077 in 4k at ultra everything native resolution and ray tracing on and finally be able to run it over 80 fps
It wasn't, though! You could buy a GPU, and then, instead of buying an all new one, you could simply add a second one later to get pretty much double the performance without wasting your old card. It was quite cost effective.
I ran Crossfire many times, first with a pair of HD5770's , then a pair of HD7870ghz editions, then a pair of R9 290's looked so cool and worked pretty well for me.
When a bought my 8800 ultra OC, I debated on getting two 8800 GSs instead, but limited number of games that took advantage of SLI meant I would benefit more from a single, faster GPU. I always wondered how Dual Voodoo 2 cards seemed to work seamlessly back in the 1990s, but 10 years later Nvidia had problems with SLI.
I never used sli sadly. But I used crossfire if I remember correctly. It was the amd alternative, I had 3 2gb cards running at the same time back in the day, felt like a major advantage, best gift a dad coulda ever given me
I've always used sli on all my PC. The big brain move was to buy one GPU first and instead of swapping it down the line simply adding a second used one.
There was and the guy in the video is giving you false information. The successor to SLI was NVLink and is enabling systems like ChatGPT to work properly. It was never ever dead, Nvidia just had no intention to ever increase the bandwidth on the consumer market
Back in the day graphics cards used double in performance every single year by a combination of moore’s law and doubling the die size between transistor shrinkages, and video game system requires for GPUs doubled each year and video game consoles. A midrange GPU in 2005 has the same performance as a high end GPUs from 2004 so multi GPU setups were mandatory if you wanted a future proof rig. All gaming laptops back then had an upgradable GPU for that very reason.
imagine if the shortage and crypto mining never happened and gpus were still as cheap, pc gaming would so different especially with crossfire (since its still supported)
@SpeedyKhaledGD well sli and crossfire were well on to their way out before the epidemic. It's really gamemaker's and software devs fault. Is they stopped developing for it and putting compatibility and for it and they didn't design their stuff to fully utilize it. On to0 of the hardware itself being kinda flawed the bridge wasn't enough bandwidth. And neither is the pcie bus. To work properly it would have needed about double the pcie bus. Not many cpus supported that many lanes and there were no instructions to properly stage information between them.
@@SetCraft-pm9vk makes sense, it definitely comes with many problems though who doesnt wanna go back to the time where having 2 gtx 1080s was considered cool 😂
@@SpeedyKhaledGD I think it needs to be revisited so much lost potential. We could legit be running shit at 4k 500hz if we could properly utilize multiple GPUs and CPUs. But that would require a massive industry shift
I wish it could make a return for APUs, like if you had a motherboard and you could get 2 Ryzen 5700G APUs and had a crossfire driver? Would make APU gaming feel more aggressive.
The Ryzen 4070 is so fast, it basically outperforms everything on the market. And why do people believe that SLI went away? It never did 😂 The removed it from the consumer market but those Nvidia Blackwell cards run all with NVLink, a further development of SLI. With transfer speeds so high, that there is almost no delay. Without this, systems like ChatGPT wouldn't even be possible
they was nvlink on the rtx 20 and 30 series who is like sli but with 2 card,way higher bandwidth and wihout master and slave and using the vram of the card as one big pool
I ran two GTX760 2Gb, but as the memory didn't double up it became limited, used one RTX2060 6Gb for a while, but am pleased with the 10Gb RTX3080 these days.
Right now, single Card can do what Multiple Card did before (my theory). And perhaps screen tearing is the possibility that can happen. I just hate tearing because it just made me feel uncomfortable (can say this because I have ever watched some gameplay on YT which has screen tearing. Also got that info from Linus )

There's a sharp undertone to this video hurting my hearing unless I put my volume to 4. Aside of that, I still rock 2 GPUs, but primarily to run 2 intensive task without a problem.
If they actualy make this work with 2 or 3 graphics cards that would be great for nvidia because it would kill the resale market, you buy a new gpu and just put it in with your old one and use them both. I really see them making this again with the rise of AI and stuff like that.
Sli might have been wrong the whole time if you ask me, why not make just 1 gpu instead of 10, and just add GPUs to get more performance Ex. Only rtx4060 exists, using two would make a 4070 super, using three would make a 4090 and using four maybe even better? Makes sense since it would cut manufacturing cost to an insane amount, similar or less amount of drivers....
It faded away not because it hard , rather it hurt their profit Imagine if you can only add low end or mid end gpu to get more performence instead of spending on hell new expensive gpu

After SLI and Crossfire was gone... I'm trying to make the new system ( using Fiber-Optical Cable with modification to Type-C 3.2) it finished but some problem i get...

I'm tried this system with RTX 3060 & RX 7900 GPU Card,and sadly again,the problem approaching again,yep,that right... " Overheat " because 2 or 6 GPUs running at same times and the VRAM was totalling it ( when the VRAM was 8GB at primary and 4 GPUs with same VRAMs 8GBx4=32,so the total VRAMs was 32Gigs with maximum Bandwith almost same like Supercomputer GPUs),start trying to Benchmark and playing some of games,so smoothly but those GPUs become super-hot and must using Full AC Rooms for that. I don't know for my research,maybe stop it and still working on it? Idk... Developing this system for 4 years was crazy for me.
