Oh I'm not going to disagree with that assesment at all because optimized games on the PS4 will very much outperform a 580 IMO, but I did list 2 cards and not 1 in my reply which then becomes a different story on that front with driver optimizations from Nvidia. SLI and Crossfire have been part of the PC industry since 2004-2005 and have since then evolved much so many PC gamers have adopted to the technology, I was simply stating that the Steam list won't help with showing that unless they have a list for that too.

I agree but even when I was a PC gamer (in the GTX 280 / HD 4000 era) I neve like to compare SLI/Crossfire GPUs with single GPUs... the scalle of these techs are average and there are a lot of dependent of the game/drivers.

I always will be prefer a single gpu over a dual CF/SLI.


You are talking about the old days by now with the scaling part, Crossfire can scale from  90-96% average up to 100% these days on the newer cards so it's become a very viable setup and that's why you see some people on this site running multi-GPU setups in different variants. They are absolutely part of the equation and shouldn't be left out as 99% of the new high profile games support multi-GPU technology.
