Ever? Maybe. Realistically, no. And less every day. NICs get more and more reliable, and faster and faster. It was really a product of a different era. There are extreme edge cases where you might want it, but you are into incredible niche circumstances.

I've seen that people have used two graphics cards in a setup. How does this work exactly? I'm assuming you don't use the video outputs of both graphics cards.

Generally it is handled by a proprietary "bridge" for those specific cards that makes two (or more) cards act as one. Same as have two CPUs in a single PC.
