Why dual-gpu era is dead since 2013-2014?For example,i miss time when HD 5970, HD 7990 or gtx 690 was present.
For me Multi GPU is fantastically useful for many, many things,is raw power in a single motherboard slot.I mean what is the reason behind discontinuing dual GPU cards?I want to understand.Since 2013 both company Radeon and GeForce stopped their production of multi gpu solution for consumers.Why they don't want to revive again this solution in present?They are focusing only on single core GPU card

Game developers don't do much optimizations for dual GPU use, so I guess the decline started there.

Moreover, after the recent GPU crisis bringing along a severe price bump back in 2020, it makes even less sense.

A 6700XT and a 3070 saw prices in the +900 area not long ago, actually, less than a year ago. So having two of these was not common or affordable when comparing with a upper tier card.

In the workstation market, dual cards is far more common for GPU intensive tasks.
Davinci Resolve Studio, the paid version, it makes a lot of sense for some content creators. So its pretty much common there.

AMD made Crossfire a legacy feature several years ago. AMD MGPU took over when Crossfire became non-supported anymore by AMD.

For Crossfire to work the game must support it.

As far as Nvidia SLI is concerned it seems like in 2020 SLI started to be made legacy and an new SLI started according to this Tom's Hardware Article about the new SLI: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/the-end-of-sli-as-we-know-it-nvidia-reveals-new-model#:~:text=Begi....
