So here's the deal....

I ordered a 2KW SF PSU from OCUK and it will be delivered today, given my medal winning performance at the timing awards, it seems that EVGA have confirmed that the new 1080's will NOT be capable of more than 2 cards in SLI.

This scuppers my megalomaniac plans for a 4 way, dual loop, OC'd beast, as I had planned.

Here is my question; (a) am i ever going to need the power should nVidia do away with 4 way for good (they may not i know, but for arguments sake) and (b) will i suffer any penalties by running a PSU that now has an unused overhead of 800w? Other than power draw.

Cheers

Hey 8,

Mine wasn't a question of performance loss, more a question of sound at lower power. Don't get me wrong, this PSU is a beast and I'm very happy! It does beg the question about lower power requirements for newer GPU's meaning lower PSU wattage...

I'm not so sure about the 8 way thing, that's only through nVlink and that's not for the consumer market, unless at some point they decide to switch out SLI with nVlink and actually sort out the scaling issues beyond 2 cards...

While I have you I am looking for colored options for the PSU cables, what would you recommend?

Cheers!
Ben
