What’s your experience with multi-GPU setups for gaming?

[killamch89]

For those who’ve experimented with multi‑GPU configurations whether SLI, CrossFire, or NVLink, what has your gaming experience been like? Did you see meaningful performance scaling in modern titles, or did driver issues and micro‑stuttering overshadow potential gains? How did power consumption, thermals, and chassis space factor into your decision to run multiple cards? Are there specific games or engines that handle multi‑GPU setups exceptionally well, and which ones do not?

I've experimented with multi-GPU setups for gaming, and while they can boost performance in some titles, they often come with compatibility issues and increased power consumption. Overall, I find them beneficial for high-end gaming, but they require careful configuration for optimal results.

Multi-GPU configurations taught me the critical importance of developer implementation over raw hardware capabilities. Games with proper multi-frame rendering support showed near-linear scaling, while others actually performed worse than single GPU setups due to synchronization overhead and micro-stuttering issues.
