Ok I've tested SLI with two flexible ribbon cables and the HB bridge and... well, I can't see any difference...

You may find it works even better with a single flexi ribbon.

Might be placebo affect, but I thought adding a second ribbon cable reduced SLI stuttering.

caff · 13 Jul 2016 at 22:34

Do you think future drivers will improve the SLI performance, regardless of the bridge type?

crinkleshoes · 13 Jul 2016 at 22:57

Yes - they usually do

Finally got around to a picture of my new Gaming X in situ!
The case is a Corsair 600T

I know it's probably already been posted, but what's the deal with enabling Fast Sync & G-Sync together?

I tried it on Dota 2 last night and my FPS was still capped at 144? V-Sync was definitely off in-game and fps_max was set to 0.

Cheers!

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.

Glanza · 14 Jul 2016 at 10:59

That GPU has got some sag :eek:

Looks like you need to deploy the old Lego man to help your graphics card:

(not my PC btw)

No sag chaps, just the angle of the photo...
I'd be impressed it it could sag with that backplate on!

Telecaster · 14 Jul 2016 at 18:14

Of course it's sagging, you can see the difference from one end to the other.

They all sag, back plate or not as most of the coolers weigh a ton.

Pappa-D · 14 Jul 2016 at 19:25

Indeed, there is some slight "sag" owing to the inherent shortcomings of the cards weight versus the distance to the mounting points. Were I to place a spirit level on the back-plate, it would not be absolutely level :rolleyes:

My point is that it is not as pronounced as the image might suggest. I know this, as I'm sitting next to it.

In either case, its a great card, its in and it works as per it's design - so I'm a happy bunny

Thank you for the add to the HOF.

To be honest, at my age - most things sag these days anyway, so I'm used to it

Gee · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:40

Finally got round to switching over to my new case (Corsair 780T).

Gerard · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:42

For some daft reason im tempted to buy one of these just to try ity out knowing it will be much slower than 980tio sli..

Must be the lure of:

Go 1080 SLI :cool:

To hell with that, the only card of the 1080's i like the look of the the gigabyte xtreme, selling 2 ti's would get me about £640 tops.

Not always slower

chaparral said:
TangoEchoAlpha what game is this screenshot from ?

SLI 980ti = 42fps
Single GTX 1080 = 142fps

No idea what game that was

chaparral said:
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

TangoEchoAlpha said:
Hope I am OK to post this here as well as the general YouTube video thread In this video, I compare various games on my old two GTX980Ti cards in SLI, versus my single MSI GTX1080 Gaming X.
