Nvidia Ends SLI Multi-GPU Support For Consumers

Nvidia officially ended SLI multi-GPU support in 2021 and removed the NVLink SLI connector with the RTX 40-series, according to company announcements. The change reflects rising single‑GPU performance, higher costs, and declining developer support that made multi‑GPU gaming impractical. Practitioners are advised to repurpose spare cards for media servers, retro builds, rendering, or AI workloads instead of buying additional GPUs for SLI.
