Is SLI worth doing anymore? (opinions)

oh wow the WAN show is all knowledgeable huh the end all right?

No it is one example that proves my point!

I haven't tried CF in a long time and frankly don't want to.

But the last time I did, it barely worked on any title I've played. The second card was just entirely useless and wasn't even used...

And that applies to most of the Koei Tecmo Games, many Square Enix games. You can probably name more games where CF/SLI doesn't work than where it does. 
That is no good...

metal gear survive hasnt even came out yet and has a profile

its all on the game engine, developers, and nvidia what is not hard to understand

Has a CF/SLi Profile doesn't mean that it runs well at all...

and kronos has said sli and mGPU will be supported like a year ago

Yes, they said they will do it.
But that still requires the software to be modified for that to be implemented.

 

The same applies to DX12.

The software has to implenent that. And many DX12 Titles don't implement multi GPU Support at all...

what?

never had issues with input lag and I have used plx chip on my ws boards

Have you ever used two graphics cards ever?!

 

With two graphics cards, one more frame has to be rendered before something happens on the screen.

That might be something people can notice eventually...

Kingdom come deliverence all settings @ Ultra 

3440x1440p max render distance and one 1080ti = 40-60fps mostly in the high 40s and low 50s. So do i feel like a nother 1080ti ? The answer is, Yes. So i buy another one? Nope the Next gen is knocking on my Bank Account or tbh Paypal acc

1080ti can't max 1440p at 144hz 

Believe there ate some games at 1080p too

If your definition of "well" is 1440p @ 144Hz, then okay.

Its overrated and supported by just a few set ups. I see a future without dual cards.
