It's not worth doing any heavy lifting for maybe 5% of gamers who'd be happy to spend 100% more for a ~50% performance uplift.The developers still have to do the heavy lifting; no wonder SLI and Crossfire are dead.
Even when SLi and CF worked, buying a faster card was always a better option. I remember wanting to build a Radeon HD 7770 CF system, but it was much cheaper to sell my 7770 and buy a 7970 that not only had 3x more VRAM, but was faster than a 7770 CF system in every single game.
