But, but... How will one jusitfy the exorbitant amounts of cash spent, if one doesn't make others feel inferior?

You know we ALL have Haswell-E systems with 128GB DDR4-4200, 10TB total SSD storage, three Titan X cards, 1500+ watt PSUs, all wrapped in the best CaseLabs case we could find, and three 27" G-Sync displays.

How dare you mock our superiority?

AFAIK: For now there is only an recommendation for hte HB-Bridge, but no statement against 3-SLI

NVIDIA Pascal High-Bandwidth SLI Bridge
GeForce 10 Series based on Pascal architecture also deliver new connection method for multi-GPU configurations. By utilizing both SLI fingers new bridge delivers higher throughput between GPUs. This technology will improve experience at higher resolutions. In fact NVIDIA even has its own recommendation table for those looking into GTX 1080 SLI:

19×10 25×14 @ 60 Hz 25×14 @ 120 Hz 4K 5K Surround
Standard Bridge X X – – – –
LED Bridge X X X X – –
HB Bridge X X X X X X

maybe because 3-4 way scaling is not so high anyway vs 2-way?

Good news that 2 Way SLI only, makes for better availability as people with too much money don't have to buy 3850395890375 cards anymore.
