I hear about SLI all the time but I never really hear about 3 way SLI except if there is someone saying something bad about. What makes 3 way SLI so bad?

Personally I think 3-way is worth it if you have the money. 3 Way isn't like the power of 3 of the cards, Its maybe like 2.75 Of the cards. Your performance starts to drop a little when you keep adding cards. Also you must make sure your mother board has 3 8x PCIE Slots or else youre going to lose performance from the cards. 2-Way is the average because you dont lose power from the cards, but 3 is if you just have some extra money to spend. Its not really bad but its for people with money or that are sponsored. Heres a video about PCIE Lanes.
