Don't take offense to what PP said, he is just really anti-SLI even though he had SLI for a little bit...

I think i have reason to be Anti-SLI. Its one thing to be Anti without trying it but its another to try it for a month and still be Anti-SLI.

Its just not worth the money.

Yah but buying 2 GT will cost you less then buying a GTX and perform better.
Of course if you go by the thought that running SLI doesnt actually give your TWICE the performance even though you paid twice the price then you are right PP.
I guess its a matter of how you see things...

Actualy if you buy ONE XXX GT Alpha Dog your still beating a GTX ;) So, SLI is not worth it hehe.

SLI is a joke. I know this for a fact. I've ran SLI in a few diff. configs. and it is totally worthless. It is nothing more then a way for Nvidia to sell more cards. the performance is utterly terrible not to mention you always need to be updating your drivers for SLI to work right. In total SLI is a gimick to sell more cards to the less informed and will never be a viable alternative to a higherend single card solution.
It scales for SH*T. You constantly have to keep updateing your drivers. You will always be better off with 1 card.
I honestly found in some situations that SLI hampered the performance of my cards in some games.

99.9% of the time its better having one faster card than two in SLI due to poor scaling issues. I would rather go for Crossfire than SLI...
