And "only" 1% of Steam? It took a long time to get the GTX 980  to reach 1%. Do you think Multi-GPU-setups are as popular as this card?

So really, what you are comparing is hundreds of potentially different paired GPU's against a single GPU?

SLI/Crossfire isn't really tied to any specific GPU... That technology has been around since 1998 starting with SLI Voodoo 2's and ATI a year later releasing the Dual-GPU single card Rage Fury Maxx. It wasn't untill the Radeon x8xx series and nVdia's 6000 series did SLI Crossfire become a staple technology.

Since that time we have had almost a dozen GPU generation releases, that's over a decade of gamers with dual-GPU's in their rigs, do you really think Multi-GPU's is only in the latest high-end PC's? They aren't, I have seen gamers still rocking a couple of 6-7 year old Radeon 5850's/5870's and are still maxing out most games, or getting mostly high settings.

There are AMD Desktops and Laptops where they pair the IGP up with a second GPU and run them in crossfire.
I have seen people buy OEM rigs and add a second low-end card as it's a cheap upgrade.
