Sadly SLI nowadays = useless.

why does Nvidia even insist on having a bridge for what looks like a dying technology?

But does it work for Half-Assed Console Ports... that is the question.

I would be happy if some manufacturer would release HB tri and quad bridges. It's been proven that Pascal can be made to work in tri and quad. Right now there is no real upgrade path from my tri 980ti. Dual 1080 would just perform nearly identical, though power usage would go down.
SLI dying ? Rather NVidia trying to kill it off and developers unwilling/incapable to properly support DX12 multi GPU. Yet still no single card rig can even hope to drive triple 4K monitors even remotely acceptable. SLI is still needed on the absolute high end of the spectrum. And we are gurus here, right ?

If it is not dying then it is being killed and aside legal matters, that is pretty much the same.
I have been running SLI since 470GTX and I OK with that (currently have 2 980 Strix), but if I were to upgrade today, I would probably get a 1080ti because things are what they are.

I had 3 generations of SLI setups (2x580s, 2x680s, 2x970s) before switching to 1070 and not 1080 Ti. I honestly wouldn't recommend to anyone to go SLI now, it's not just nvidia "killing it off", but also more importantly developers who RARELY can be bothered these days to implement support for -decent- multi gpu scaling. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing with AMD and xfire.
I was an early adopter of 1440p like 7 years ago, so I had to go 2xGPUs, but it was working for most of the time pretty good (especially in the games I was playing). So I can really understand the guys with 4K screens that want to max out their games, and it is indeed hard with current single GPU, especially in newer games. However, I would rather turn down some settings, or hold off of 4K before single GPU solutions catch up, then to spend cash on 2xGPUs and then struggle with them.

Used to be that having 2 nvidia cards in SLI would give you 80-90% performance boost. Adding a 3rd card would give an extra 20%, adding a 4th card would give you an extra 4%. So while 3-way and 4-way SLI simply wasn't worth it, i always found that 2-way SLI was great. Now though, with the 1080 and 1080Ti's that i tried in 2-way SLI, all i'm seeing lately is problems and around 60-70% performance boosts at best. Nvidia really fell off the wagon with their proprietary technologies this year. And getting G-sync to work properly with 2-way SLI is another nightmare entirely.
They keep promising that they'll fix these two issues in 'the next driver' but its been like 5 'next drivers' later and the issues still aren't fixed. Not sure if it's just a 10 series GPU issue or what but i never had these problems with the 9 series or 7 series cards.
