I highly doubt Nvidia are going to enable nvlink on consumer gaming gpu anyway, a maybe on the professional workstation cards. Did they state explicitly nvilik for consumer gpu?

I stopped watching cos he used the word AI over and over again, just got abit repetitive. Probably no mention but i'll scroll through later once its ended.

Would be something if they did bring it back suddenly.

Far too much guff about **** I'm not interested in, will sift through it later.

I think he said TLDR not TSDR.

 

[Jay85]

They're definition of SFF is not my definition of SFF , not sure what planet they are on when SFF is 2.5 slots and basically full size cards.

 

[Jay85]

I think he said TLDR not TSDR.

He can convert that wall of text to TLDR.

 

[Noxia]

He can convert that wall of text to TLDR.

He can't even read 6 lines of text on a note in BG3 or a one line spell description, you never stood a chance.

[Noxia]

My god, how do you cope with him

Abuse and obvious baiting generally. He loves it though, gives it back too

 

[Skilid]

They're definition of SFF is not my definition of SFF , not sure what planet they are on when SFF is 2.5 slots and basically full size cards.

Absolutely. My 3080 FE is way smaller than those dimensions and deals with ~320 watts of heat perferctly fine. I have no idea why cards have gotten to be so big.

 

[JediFragger]

We just try really hard to ignore him

Can you condense that further please. Too much info there

Obviously I was joking around but thanks

They're definition of SFF is not my definition of SFF , not sure what planet they are on when SFF is 2.5 slots and basically full size cards.

There is no industry standard for what sff means, check Wikipedia

 

[cliffy]

I don't really know enough about this side of things to be confident, With talk of NVLink, i don't see SLI making a return but rumors are that Nvidia are moving away from a monolithic design to a MCM (6xxx series +) chip design could they use NVLink as there alternate to Infinity Fabric?

 

[Joxeon]

Absolutely. My 3080 FE is way smaller than those dimensions and deals with ~320 watts of heat perferctly fine. I have no idea why cards have gotten to be so big.

A bigger cooler makes a card look more premium and powerful than it actually is which in turn helps to promote the higher price tag. The perfect example is the overpriced 4080 using a 4090 cooler despite the card using less power than a 3080 which never shared the same cooler as a 3090 despite is being closer in power and performance.
