** The Official Nvidia GeForce 'Pascal' Thread - for general gossip and discussions **

I am still a 1440P pauper and pretty much only playing The Division and I have everything set to max in settings and pretty much sit at 60 fps constant and only drops to 50 in big explosions on my TX, so yer, 1440P and below only needs one decent GPU but those with higher resolutions could do with a pair of GPUs for the most demanding games but over 2, I don't really see the point or benefit personally.
 
SLI support was sadly not great in me for The Division (though generally my experience with SLI has been OK) so I ended up running it on one card. I have a hybrid Titan X and if I squeezed every last drop overclocking out of it I could pretty much consistently hit 55+fps on my 3440x1440.

Having a 1080 that's 20ish percent faster would be really nice for that bit more overhead.
 
What we have to remember is DX11 and SLI go hand in hand, DX12 has very little use for SLI bridges or SLI itself.

Going forward new games are going to be DX12 based.
 
3 way looks alive and well?

Good spot.

Interestingly on the 'help me choose which size' on the Nvidia site there is no 3 way option on the new bridge.

GEFORCE GTX
SLI HB BRIDGE

NVIDIA’s new SLI HB bridge doubles the available transfer bandwidth compared to the NVIDIA Maxwell™ architecture. Delivering silky-smooth gameplay, it’s the best way to experience surround gaming—and it’s only compatible with the GeForce GTX 1080.

But I wouldn't imagine they don't run over two for obvious reasons... Strange they don't carry the official bridge for it though, or its not on site yet and they do.
