Request: 980ti SLI Benchmarks

And, Firestrike scores for x8/x8. There's a clear difference from x16. It appears to make a bigger difference than 6 cores over 4.

This appears to go against the trend, until you realise SLI scaling is poor therefore the bandwidth is moot.

x8/x8 benchmarks. I'm done for now as there's a good mix of games and synthetics.
Early indications are that bandwidth does make a difference, as much as 10% which equates to a decent overclock.

Thanks for benchmarks guys! Much appreciated.
I'm surprised there is that much of a difference, 10% at times is quite a gap. However I still think even at x8+x8 it would be worth the performance increase to SLI and especially with the prices of the 980tis now.
Not sure its worth a MB upgrade to

I've seen it disputed so often, I wanted to see for myself with equivalent clocked cards (which is crucial).
Here's an example, the first result in Google...

Now that I have seen the difference can actually be equivalent to a decent overclock on the GPU, I'm starting to wonder at the point of a 5820k for gaming? What is the point of a 28 Lane extreme chip for gaming? If there's no extra bandwidth to be had, then why not just go for a 6700k?
I'd like to see some 5960x and 5820k benchmarks as well as some i5's. Probably wishful thinking as it's restricted to specific cards, but if people pop their head in and offer a result or two then all the better.

Just a quick 3d Mark Firestrike Extream run since my second Ti arrived. Both card @ 8x PCIE 3.

Score seems a bit low, mate. Did you have the cards set at 1418 core clock?

No, no OC going on and I think my machine could do with a re-build.
No worries. Both cards need to be running at 1418 or the data isn't any use.
Thanks anyway, Bud.

I'll pay around in the morning, I work form home so should give me something to do. May rebuild my machine...
What was clock speed on the cards, mate?
I'd need to know the actual clock speed was 1418, as this looks like it was higher.
Sorry.
We need specific cards set at specific clock speeds.... and I fear it's partly the reason there aren't too many bench scores submitted here, but it's the only way we can be sure to have compared "apples to apples".

My results where at 1404. The extra 14mhz won't make much difference.?
