Podem juntar ao SLI e crossfire o Multichrome :P

Multichrome is S3's answer to SLI and Crossfire. At best, it is comparable with Atis "software" Crossfire, because two Chrome S2x cards communicate exclusively via the PCI Express interface with each other; there are no bridges. Similar to the multi-GPU solutions of the two big ones (AMD, Nvidia), S3 is also using AFR (Alternate frame rendering) and the slower technology SFR (Split Frame Rendering) to balance the work. The GPUs alternately calculate different frames, and therefore achieve at least theoretically a performance doubling. We have to mention that Multichrome is also struggling with the now infamous "micro stuttering", but this issue, we will devote separately.

O problema da S3 é que parou no tempo algures em 2006.
Pode ser que voltem novamente ao mercado dos GPU´s mas vai ser dificil sem ser comprada por alguma impresa que meta dinheiro para fazer as coisas avançar.
