Is Quad SLI the way forward?

Quad SLI the future? Or single card with one fast GPU better? What do you think?

if one card could do it, and stay the fastest, that would be a lot easier, even if that card costs 800 euros. The problem is everything evolves toward multicores.

I think, multicore GPUS are the way to go but not the SLI or Crossfire way with twice the power consumption and heat.

One GPU to own them all, in the face, with an awp.

There are a lot of different ways forward.
Sure, I drewl also when I see a Quad-Sli, even a Sli or Crossfire setup.
Yet a good single, working up to expectations, will do fine.

just that with the new now working revisions of the 2407, we need MORE POWER
