People can bash this guy all they want. But, all in all, he is a great CEO. I don't think I would have done things much differently if I was in his shoes.
Here's to another successful 16 years.

I don't relate that to being stuck, just catering to a specific market/person.

SLI/Crossfire exists to get the most performance out of current cards.
If they hit a wall, there wouldn't be future cards.

It's just like CPUs and multicore. They could no longer get the same gains by simply developing the architecture, so instead just starting adding cores. I wonder where they'll go after we hit a law of diminishing returns with that...

From what I understand we're already pretty close to that point.

For enthusiasts? For people with older graphics cards who don't want to splurge $300-400 every year but get one $250 card then add in a $100 SLI card to it later on?

Really? How so?

Buzzwords don't mean much without context. Care to elaborate?

You're better off selling your old card and buying a card from a new series getting extra features, the performance increase that you would have got from adding an extra last series card (if not more) and no microstutter.

You still don't "need" SLI/Crossfire
Hitting a wall would mean that there could be no more improvements to a single GPU (that would not put the GPU over thermal/electrical limits) and the only way to improve performance is to start packing on the GPU's.
We're not at that point yet.
Fermi is a single GPU, and ATI's next gen core is likely going to be single GPU too.
