you can, if you want to. no difference really...
The sli bridge on amazon is for £17 lol. Next day delivery would be over £20. Where shall I look for a sli bridge I can get tomorrow or monday? On Ebay, other bridges cost like +£30 like wtf?
100mm+ sli bridge should fit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/flexible-P...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=E1SMQ5EMRZCQDK24031R
That’s 92mm, will it still reach? I will order now for tomorrow.
ummm... @2K4KGamer you're gonna hate me lol. actually either of those will fit. i miscalculated and added an extra PCIE width. you only need 82mm+
so...yeah...either will fit.
so...yeah...either will fit.

Well I just tried putting the current bridge on and it reaches the first but only the front casing just past the 3 fans on the front of the card. So the 92mm bridge which is an extra 12mm overall should be enough for the remaining length to reach lol. Let's all pray anyway lol.
And the good news is nvidia control panel recognizes SLI now but it is disabled. System info says both cards are in x8 gen3 lanes. GPU-Z says first card is x8 3.0 and second is x8 1.1. Which I guess is on the right track now
I just need to order the I/O back plate which I will do now as well just to finish off this rig. That flicking/kind of touching a cable noise I barely hear. Maybe it comes and goes lol? lastly as I forgot to mention, the mobo displays on the red led letter/number screen at the top "6f" or "bf". Not sure what that means but is it nothing to worry about? The rig seems to run fine so far. I haven't played any games on it yet to really test the rig. But hopefully it runs smooth.
And the overclock to 4.6GHz is not worth it right? I saw in the BIOS that the max frequency is 4200MHz which is 4.2GHz. But the rig operates at 4000MHz/4GHz. Let me know what you think about that.
You've been a big help as usual man, and I thank you for that!

I will be getting a new rig built for 4K gaming very soon as well. And this current pc will be my streaming/second pc. This new rig I'm thinking to go with 32-64GB of ram, rtx 2080 ti, i9 9940x cpu and asus extreme omega x299 mobo. What do you think? only problem is I wanted a true 10-bit HDR panel to go with this rig. But the only panel that's true to 10-bit is the acer predator x27 up to only 97 hertz. The size (27 inch) is to small imo and the price tag on that is just stupid. So I'm stuck choosing a 10-bit HDR panel as there is literally none available right now.
Have you got any thoughts on a good 10-bit HDR monitor?

it's bf and it's nothing to worry about.
if you don't know what you're doing, just leave it. but it's extra performance there to be tapped when you feel like learning how to overclock
yeah all looks fine
just wait. ryzen 3000 is coming out in 6 months. see how its performance is like.
4k hdr is expensive on the pc scene right now. you need to spend £2200 on a monitor lol. (asus pg27uq)

A lot of good games are releasing up until the Ryzen 3000 line releases which I’d like to play in 4k hdr. AMD wont be releasing any good gpus to compete with the rtx 2080 ti as well.
You really think waiting till July/August to get a new build is a good idea? A new nvidia card wont release by then to beat the 2080 ti will it?
Even buying the acer predator x27 now to go with my current rig will also be useless, as my rig cant handle 4K 60 fps at all otherwise I would buy that monitor now lol.
And I have this link I found for my mobo and cpu regarding overclocking to 4.6GHz: https://rog.asus.com/articles/guides/guide-overclocking-core-i7-6700k-on-the-maximus-viii-extreme/
What do you think overall?
My sli bridge hasn’t arrived yet
yes. if ryzen 3000 series is as good as rumours claim, then it'll be better/cheaper than anything on offer currently.
no. if you want to get a new gpu now, then yeah, by all means. nothing on the horizon at the moment that would threaten the 2080ti's performance crown.
2080ti is the first "true 4k gaming" card
looks about right.

So would you think buying the 2080 ti to go with my current rig + the 4k hdr monitor would let me game in 4k now? Even though I only have 16gb of ram and an i7 6700k cpu? I don’t really like that cpu line anymore by the way. Next time I get a rig I will only settle for a cpu that has 12+ cores.
Or shall I just bottle up my impatience and itch to build a new rig and wait till summer then build that rig I wanted? And can one use an AMD cpu/mobo with an Nvidia card? I’m unsure about that.
I’ll wait until summer then build my new rig then. I just get worried nvidia will release a better rtx 2080 ti after the summer. As I’d want the king of cards for 4k gaming when I get my new rig. They usually release their new line up of cards in the winter period.
well. 2080ti is already 5 months old
well. 2080ti is already 5 months old
I'll do quick research to see if any newer version of a rtx 2080 ti will release in the next 6 months as the 2080 ti will be almost a year old by the time summer rolls by.
So the sli bridge arrived, sli is now indeed working. But why in GPU-Z the PhysX box is unchecked when I set PhysX to the second gpu as shown in the image below in the nvidia control panel? and also CUDA is not checked for the second gpu either which is odd?

leave the settings alone.
you DONT WANT to dedicate your second gpu for physx
as long as it's enabled in nvidia control panel it's working. just probably a bug of gpu-z
