Why would it? The cost of an SLI license simply isn't worth it anymore given most end users won't use such an outdated an antiquated technology

This is actually false, in the US it is illegal to deny any warranty (RMA) claims that cannot be proven to have been caused by end user configuration (IE upgrading a laptop with a SSD, or changing it's thermal paste just as examples) 2 and 3 have nothing to do with denying a RMA either lol

That's definitely a driver issue. Only fix would be to fiddle with drivers. If you have the ability to swap for a 3080, I definitely would. I'm very happy with mine and can speak well of it

As long as it (liquid metal) doesn't end up killing the card, it is illegal to void the warranty for it (in the United States atleast) It can however, end up make things difficult for you if you need to RMA the card, as they can still illegally void it, and its very costly to end up in a legal...

I feel sorry for anyone who purchases one of these

The newest game in the MCC is almost a decade old, and Destiny 2 is almost 4, and is one of the only games with viable SLI support from it's era.

It depends, SLI is dead for any modern game and anyone trying to play competitive games at a completive level will actively seek out options that are not SLI due to the inherent latency and frame timing issues.

Well, dual GPU support is meaningless and just a cost to board vendors when the majority of users won't use it, especially given that games no longer benefit from dual GPU's

I waited ~4 days for my 3080, still worth it lol.

Microcenter is also a option (for some, including me)

Haha no, people who signed up a couple days after the launch of the 3080 are just getting the ability to buy them, ~9 months after the fact lol

If you can't disable it in BIOS, your only option is to simply attach a fan somewhere, lord knows the prebuilt cases need it

Dell is actually getting sued over this as we speak, over their Area 51m

Ok, so someone obviously did not read the article and just looked at the headline. The stock 3070 (Laptop) comes with 5120 cores, this is being shown as having 512 less at 4608 cores.

It appears to be flashed with a 580D VBIOS, but it is likely originally a 470 or 570.
