    I didn’t have a chance to watch the video so I’m not sure they already showed some – but I really wanna see some wild RTX gaming footage with this setup.

      Puget aren't really focused on gaming, they are highly specialized system builders who mostly focus on scientific computation, machine learning, engineering (CAD, photogrammetry), and content production pipelines (3D rendering, high resolution video editing), etc... hence all the benchmarks in this article being related to those industries and not games.

      If you want to see RTX gaming focused content, Linus Tech Tips is probably where you want to look, E.g.
      8K Gaming - Nvidia RTX 3090 on a LG ZX 88" OLED TV

      Or their follow-up videos:

        Destin of Smarter Every Day did a couple of videos on them as well if you can't get enough Puget footage :-)

          Yeah, Destin's videos were great... and the extended cut he posted on his second channel is a great way to spend 2 hours if you're a computer hardware nerd like myself. :)

      My experience after using a multi-GPU system for about 7 years is that game developers have no interest in supporting such a setup because they're rare enough that the extra work to support them wouldn't pay any dividends. So few users have them, they don't even bother.

        Ditto. I had 2x GTX 680s in SLI for about the same length of time, and it was largely a waste of money since the amount of games that actually supported SLI was ridiculously slim even back then in its heyday. And hell, even today it's still somewhat hard to get consistent ultra-wide and multi-monitor support for games despite their rise in popularity, so the lack of SLI support (even rarer) shouldn't really be all that surprising, I suppose.
