NVIDIA Quad SLI Disappoints
Vigile writes "While the death of PC gaming might be exaggerated, it's hard not to see the issues gamers have with the platform. A genre that used to dominate innovation in the field now requires a $1200 piece of graphics technology just to participate, and that's just plain bad for the consumer. NVIDIA's SLI technology was supposed to get a boost today by going from two GPUs to four GPUs with the introduction of Quad SLI but both PC Perspective and HardOCP seem to think that NVIDIA drastically missed the mark by pushing an incredibly expensive upgrade that really does nothing for real-world game play and performance. If PC gamers are left with these options to save them from consoles, do they even have a chance?"
Exactly. This is about putting power in the hands of the guys that are designing games. Games don't just get whipped up overnight. It takes a few years. During which, hardware gets better and machines become more capable. If the CryTek guys had just pulled a mid-range video card off the shelves a few years back and stuck with that we wouldn't have the gorgeous wonder that is Crysis.
