Any dual RTX benchmarks using the new NVLink?

Hey All,

Are they any benchmarks showing dual RTX cards using the new NVLink bridges?

All the results I have seen so far are for single cards only.


Thanks
 
I have not seen any of the bridges in the wild and I don't think drivers are supporting it yet, nevermind question mark over support from games themselves. Early days on this one.

In one of the 2 series threads someone posted a picture of the bridge they had recieved.

Ah OK, didn't realise you could actually get them already. I wouldn't expect much from NVLink just yet though... will take some driver maturation before we know much. Will be interesting to see though.
 
Also depends on if DXR is capable of scaling across GPU. Too many unknowns, the NVLINK features are DOA. There's no upselling for MGPU scaling, nor has there been for some time.
 
NVLink itself is unlikely to result in any real changes for multi GPU - the system still relies on the same old SLI techniques and the bottleneck so to speak is both the architecture and software though it might give small single digit performance gains due to having a bit more bandwidth to play with though I've not really seen that so far.

The raw calculations for ray tracing is perfectly possible to scale well across multiple GPUs and atleast for movie rendering, etc. RTX fully supports that - the gaming implementations being more of a hybrid feature are a bit of a wildcard - theoretically even if DXR didn't support it itself the driver layer could but the hybrid nature could well work against that.
