Maybe you are thinking about CGI rendering. But we are on a gaming forum in a PC discussion.

So of course we're talking about gaming, and when it comes to gaming, the crossfire/SLI support has been plummeting in recent years, and Nvidia and AMD are not pushing for a comeback.

Considering I made the thread, I know where we are and what the topic entails.

Regardless, I wasn't just talking about rendering (which is still traded off between both the CPU and GPU, depending on the program). mGPU/SLI aren't "useless", they just aren't prioritized. But still, even if we're talking about rendering (which is appropriate in a gaming forum), they remain quite useful for such tasks and still have plenty of support.

Never mind that this isn't what the topic is about, though. 

The topic is about AMD dropping the name crossfire, and I'm saying that's mainly because in a few years crossfire/SLI will be barely used in gaming.

I don't know why it's off topic for you?

As for CGI rendering and all that it's obviously aimed at a professionnal use, where marketing words like crossfire are really not as important as it is in the marketing of gaming for the masses.

 

Maybe you should check again the subject of your topic.
