The issue here lies in limitations of technology. One master chip + 3 slave chips are hard to sync.

I wonder what the frame time microstutter looks like with 3-4 card SLI. 2 cards are already not great.

With 3x285s it can be terrible depending on the game but I just see it as the penalty for rendering across three separate GPUs.

The only real reason for even using such a setup today is for how damn cool it looks, its also a great talking point as even non PC people are amazed to see three GPUs in one machine.

The only real reason for such setup now is to test your PSU for upcoming RTX 4090 🤣
