Sorry, this just looks wrong, I think you need to buy 3 more :p

Nah seriously if you like it, why not. Could you do 4 way configs with them even or is it a 2 and a bit slot card with that raised segment around the blower?

I think the raised segment around the blower would cause problems if there were 3 or 4 of them.

So Kaap, reading between the lines what you’re saying here is you don’t need your 1080ti’s anymore... So I can trust my address to send them from your GPU warehouse? :p

Like my other cards the 1080 Ti's I use mostly for testing stuff.

My 24/7 PC is a watercooled Quad SLI TitanP setup that I do things like gaming on.

Seems there are some issues if you try to SLi the two together :p.

Is Linus really that stupid !!!

I sometime get the problem he had when going from a different SLI configuration and all you have to do is re install the drivers and then wait for a couple of minutes for the wizard to update the setup. It took me 5 minutes to get one of these cards working in a 4 way SLI setup lol.

He would also get better performance if he used a proper HB SLI bridge.

Surely you though you cant say the Titan Xp is a better overclocker based on its base clock speeds. Those numbers used are conservative and more so given its a blower style cooler. Otherwise you could say a FE 1080Ti is a better overclocker then a aftermarket 1080Ti when in reality its just the former starts off at low numbers with the blower cooler. Sure in % increase they appear to better, but in absolute frequency all top out at similar numbers it seems with some variance for silicon lottery.

All Pascal top out more or less the same but the blower cards do start with a lower default clockspeed making them better overclockers. Sometimes the reviewers like to forget this when testing non reference cards and say card X is a lot faster than the FE.

I see this card as a tester of Nvidia marketing department. They simply try to find out where is the limit of what people are willing to pay for the same hardware but with a bit of glitter. So by buying this you can be sure the next gen cards will be somewhere in that price region. I find this really silly but it is everybody's business how they spend their money. Also, from gamer's point of view using more than one card could and will result in worse gaming experience due to more stuttering. OK for benching though.

It is actually an improvement on the pricing.

Both the standard Xp and the SW cards are exactly the same price. The difference is the extras you get with the SW cards, or putting it another way NVidia are giving more for the same money.

As to stuttering I don't normally get any when I use SLI.
