Anyone considering a return to SLI?

[Kirby Wurm]

Out of the thousands of PC titles available - cherry picking the ones known to be well optimised for SLI doesn't really further the discussion. Myself and many others have had woeful returns from SLI over the years and whereas there is no dispute that *some* games do see a significant improvement, they are in the minority.

No, but you said you'd never seen a 70% improvement in FPS and there it is in Tomb Raider and 80% in Assassin's Creed. These are popular titles so for some gamers who play these kinds of games (mainly AAA) there may some merit in it. As I said I've never been a proponent of mGPU, just pointing out an inaccuracy.

That is an interesting point, although I'd be more interested in mGPU with 2080 or even 2070 as there's no chance I'd drop over 2 grand on a dual GPU setup.

2070 doesn’t have any support for it does it? No NVLink for sure and I think nothing at all...

It’s a foundation for a fresh start in mgpu but let’s see, I’ll let you know in about 3 weeks

I’d love to x-fire my vega. I’d probably need the power of a dying star to run it though.

£600 for a card that doesn't support the latest tech, Nvidia really are ripping it big time with this release.

Fun times at the same time NVLink was £400 and now £75 so not all bad.

Some of the tech is impressive though, DLSS particularly. Price is high but looking like 2080 is a slight premium over 1080ti at this point. Also some of the smaller things nobody is discussing like the very high clock speeds - no we don’t have benchmarks but the after keynote demo founders running around 2,150 vs 2,000 pascal same demo suggests some speed gains possible.

Hoping we might press clocks to 2,250-2,300 with faster GDR6
