TangoEchoAlpha what game is this screenshot from ?
SLI 980ti = 42fps
Single GTX 1080 = 142fps
No idea what game that was
The very recent Doom game, it has had no multi GPU support since release and not much indication of being able to use SLI any time soon.
This is the worrying thing with DX12 games because it's up to the dev to bother making it utilise extra cards instead of NVIDIA/AMD. Not much hope of them bothering considering quite a few dev teams don't even release finished games optimisation/bug wise.
MultiGPU just isn't worth it IMO. Never seen the appeal, purely come a cost to benefit perspective. Also I'd agree, why would a developer waste time and money implementing it for such a small userbase, especially with game budgets getting higher and risks involved. A poor game can literally wipe out a studio now a days.
It will be the future though... Once consoles move in a MultiGPU direction then you'll see much more wide spread adoption, what that means for Nvidia though im not so sure... Since AMD provide the hardware. Although it doesn't look like the next gen of consoles will be MultiGPU, so we're several years away from that.

Decided to mod my founders card to match my rig and tidy it up further. What do you guys reckon.

I would have just changed the LED to blue to match the rest in my opinion
Does look quite nice in white though. Although I dont like the fact that there is no Geforce logo there.

It's from the Alien Isolation benchmark. I couldn't believe it either and ran the 980Tis multiple times - it just scaled so badly!

The screenshot is Alien Isolation which is DX11 and not DX12 plus with Alien Isolation you could run that game on a pizza it's that well optimised.
Yeah right, I used to have 980 ti's in sli and they were rock solid at 144Hz with max settings on that game, although i did notice a similar issue with GTA 5 and a reboot sorted it
Yep it is notorious for bad scaling.

That game doesn't need scaling beyond 1 card really though IMO, At 4K with a GTX 1080 max settings it gets on average around 105 FPS according to the benchmark and at 1080P max settings it gets on average 356 according to the benchmark.
The only reason that game would need scaling is to be used as a benchmark and there's nothing it it for the devs to do that.

Nice one, I have the same bridge!! Cheers again for the info, I may just get a pair of Gaming-X's
edit - Ah, they're single!! Mine is a 3-way double but usable with 2

I like it. I'm not a fan of this era of LEDs on the cards. I think they look naff and just drive up the cost of a card.

I guess SLI 980ti is not a big enough pizza....
I also noticed from your you tube video that this game in the screen shot below scaled very badly as well
Don't think am going to pay out for an SLI setup again

Got my two at last.
First impressions.... Loud and hot. I did my GTA V test (load the game up max the settings and drive around till I hit a spot which maxes out the gpus and stay there for 30 minutes)
and my right card hit 94C (this is in a raven r02 case) I opened up the cooler and cleaned off the thermal paste and added my own. Temps now at 84-84c not great but better.
Ive also had to do my own custom fan profile as the one out of the box is rubbish with the fans never going above 50% so I have a 1-1 profile set now and although it is more audible then I would like I cant hear it over normal gameplay
The raven r02 case is designed to be used with blower type GPU coolers...
Two GPU's in SLI with AIB type coolers would cook in it as that case only has a single slow speed 120mm exhaust fan
