4 Way SLI
So, what about 4 way SLI, i mean, id imagine its not as easy as changing a code, but it is something that should be considered, being that it IS a thing, and we could fit it ingame, and while on the topic, some more... Rare, thing would be cool, like a 2 CPU Mobo, or something like that, for new missions, like "hey, my server is having an issue, and i don't have the time to Repair it, could you take a look at it" something like that, it would be cool to see some new Cases from that too, Make some harder missions and new parts to mess with, idk... just ideas.

Sorry for the Rant, kinda just getting bored messing with the same stuff, but Keep up the work! Doin good so far

Technically the way the game is coded they couldn't possibly add it due to power concerns. We can only use 1 power supply in-game per computer and the best unit in the game right now is the single 1600 watt one. We're already exceeding that one easily with a pair of overclocked RTX 2080 Ti's. Even if they added the best power supply that exists in real life that would be a 2200 watt unit and that still wouldn't be enough to handle 4 overclocked GTX 1080 Ti's.

Power aside they can't use 4-way SLI on every video card in the game. Only a few select video card lines can even do it, mainly a couple from AMD and the 1000 series in-game from Nvidia. It's rather impractical to spend a lot of effort to make that work for such a small selection of their parts they have in the game.

On your other subject though: The developers stated previously that there will never be dual-processor (workstation) motherboards nor anything to do with servers in this game. That's a very old topic that's been asked and answered in literally over 100 threads by now dating back to spring 2018 when this game was in Early Access.

Real companies do not take servers to small mom`n`pop computer repair stores (like what this game is simulating) in real life. They have technicians come to their company on-site and do the repairs there. So it's unlikely they would ever put servers in the game because that's not how it works in real life.

From what i have heard, the last Nvidia Cards to support 4 way sli were the gtx 900 series. Not sure if this means power concerns arent a thing.

The last Nvidia video cards to support 4-way were the GTX 1000 series. In the game so far people are already exceeding the biggest power supply in the game in overclocking with just a pair of two RTX 2080 Ti's together. Four 1080 Ti's overclocked would be even worse on power.
