SLI is not going anywhere. Nvidia has invested too much into the technology. And so (Will have ATI). Dual Core Video cards will never likely be a reality due to power/heat related costs. Currently its still more efficient (Power, Heat Wise) To make a 16 pipeline GPU than its a Dual 8 pipe GPU. In any case its just not nearly as efficient and can cause potential rendering problems
