Hello, I have an MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 3G and I could get a second one. I wanted to know if it is possible to have both for a power gain. I have done several searches but I can't find what I'm looking for. If you could help me as I don't know much about it at this level, thank you.

    Hi,

    No, they are no longer SLI compatible...

    And even if they were, SLI doesn't really provide a performance boost in games anymore, as they are no longer optimized for that...

      Alright, so it’s not worth it for me to get this card after all. I’ll wait to have the money to get a more powerful one. Thanks for the answers.

      So what's the point of SLI really?

        It is no longer useful. Besides, cards are increasingly lacking this kind of capabilities.

        Games are no longer developed to support SLI or anything like that...

      Hi,
      And by the way, it has never really been of much use.
      It costs the price of 2 GPUs, consumes a lot, generates more heat, takes up more space... all that just to gain up to only 40-50% more performance, in the best-case scenario with an ultra-optimized SLI game (which is not common)... Generally, it’s not even 30%.
