The GTX Titan X owners thread.

Will add a third TX for cheap so I can troll 1080 buyers that can only 2-Way SLI Will wait for full fat pascal before upgrading again.

Here is the 1080 specs

It only mentions 2 way SLI with a special bridge



It may be possible to go 3 or 4 way with ordinary bridges but there is no mention in the specs about it.

 

[Kaapstad]

I might be blind but it actually doesnt say how many cards can be SLI'ed?
SLI ready = yes and it supports the new bridge
Or did i miss a line?

You missed the new bridges, they are all only 2 way.

The only difference between them is for the PCI-E slot spacing.

Will have to wait and see i guess. i take it as A its SLI ready and B Also supports the new bridges.
Not that it doesnt support older ones aswell.
I see on older cards it makes no note of what types of bridge being supported but has the number of cards that can be sli'ed max.

Time will tell it guess hopefully its not a sign that Nvidia is moving away from 3-4 card solutions completely

I suspect that you will be able to use older bridges for 3 or 4 way SLI.

A big clue will be what comes in the box with the 1080s. If older bridges don't work then there will probably be new 2 way bridge(s) in the accessories that come with the cards.

I also suspect that the reason for the new bridge is not for normal resolutions up to 2160p but for the higher resolutions that the 1080p can output.

 

[Kaapstad]

Drivers will further increase the gap between the Titan X and 1080/1070 bit by bit every new release.

There will be more games that use more than 8gb @2160p.

very nice mate, sometimes I miss SLI

make sure them EK compression fittings are on good, they have a tenancy to loosen

I stopped using those fittings a lot time ago as I was making my fingers sore doing them up.

I prefer Monsson fittings these days as they come with a nice spanner to do them up.

@olliej82

That is a very nice clean and well laid out setup you have there.

 

[Kaapstad]

No issues with GSYNC + SLI its very smooth.

Also i still have my TX's

I don't know why any TX owner would buy a 1080 as its a sidegrade, Wait for the 1080ti/Pascal Titan.

I will be getting the 1080 but my main gaming PC will still be the TitanX one.

12gb of VRAM & 4 way SLI

vs

8gb of VRAM & no SLI support

No contest.

I do hope that NVidia get mGPU support for Pascal sorted as it does leave the door open for AMD and Vega.

 

[Kaapstad]

I take it you mean no sli support above 2 cards?

From what I understand of it they are still trying to optimise 2 way SLI for Pascal.

Having said that it will improve given time.
