Chances are slim to none that you will get any performance benefit with a HB bridge over your 2nd Gen LED bridge at at Ultrawide 2k. NVIDIA made a slide showing a slight performance deficit with a HB bridge vs normal SLI bridge at 11k lol.

It would seem that some games do show a decent bump with the HB bridge.

Very interesting. Weird that some games see no performance change while other get a huge boost. Also interesting that the games that saw the biggest boost were games that had poor scaling which probably makes sense.

Can anyone with an aftermarket card confirm if you can disable rgb leds using geforce experience? If you can't, how do you disable them without using their software if you want to use just afterburner?

I have got one of those bridges coming and will test it for myself.

I suspect if you have got a good system with plenty of PCI-E lanes available these bridges will do nothing at all.

Two things I can use to really test the bridge are Firestike @8k and also Mordor @8k as these are easy to do and should really tax the system.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.

Nice pre-ordered one of the 4 way bridges. I do see a bit of a gap between the old school Ribbon one and the EVGA / Nvidia LED one, be curious to see how this one goes.

Separately, got a third card now, but cannot seem to get firestrike to correctly recognise it? I was under the impression bench marking would work fine in 3/4 way SLI? Have you managed to get anything more then 2 way working by any chance?

Yeah that's what I mean.

When you remove the protective plastic, is there still remaining plastic underneath those screws? Some people were complaining over on Reddit/EVGA forums that they had to remove the screws to remove it all.

I understand EVGA have since fixed the issue though, must've been on some of the earlier production ones.

Yeah I was wondering about that as well, slight oversight on their part

let's see when mine comes in.

@ Trooper; can no longer check the queue :/

None of the synthetic benches I have tried (Firestrike and Heaven) work with 4 cards they just use 2 cards. Hopefully NVidia will get it sorted soon.

Hi guys
I just got the Asus Founder Edition and am wondering: can I turn off the green "GeForce gtx" display on the top of the card? Or turn it down or something?

It's really invasive as I have the pc close to my desk and while other LEDs are flashing on the mobo, nothing is as bright or as intrusive as the 1080 gpu.

Should apply to the 1080 as well.

Thanks! I have never used that before. Handy. Shame we can't choose the colour..

Thanks, was going mad thinking i was missing something obvious after trying multiple bridges.

Dicehunter · 26 Jun 2016 at 01:14

Ok Kaap I have a few videos for the user videos section.

All done on 1 x 1080 which I will eventually take a pic of for TROH

All games ran at 4K maximum settings with various AA types, Didn't make sense to max AA at 4K when some gave no visual quality improvement and just tanked FPS.

Rendered in 1080P 60FPS as 4K 60FPS would have taken weeks to upload

FPS counter is in the top left in red on every vid minus Gears of War were it wouldn't work due to DX12.

Alien Isolation - 4K + Maximum Settings - SMAA T2X

Aliens vs Predator - 4K + Maximum settings - 4 x MSAA

Batman Arkham Asylum - 4K + Maximum Settings - 8 x MSAA

Batman Arkham City - 4K + Maximum Settings - 8 x MSAA

Batman Arkham Origins - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Batman Arkham Knight - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Bioshock Infinite - 4K + Maximum Settings - FXAA

Company Of Heroes 1 - 4K + Maximum Settings - 8 x MSAA

Company Of Heroes 2 - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Dirt Rally - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Far Cry Primal - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Gears Of War - 4K + Maximum Settings - FXAA

Grid Autospot - 4K + Maximum Settings - 8 x MSAA

Grid Autospot Attract - 4K + Maximum Settings - 8 x MSAA

Hitman Absolution - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Middle Earth Shadow Of Mordor - 4K + Maximum Settings - FXAA

Monster Hunter Online - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Rainbow Six Siege - 4K + Maximum Settings - T-AA

Resident Evil 6 - 4K Maximum Settings - FXAA3HQ

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Sniper Elite III - 4K + Maximum Settings - High AA

Thief - 4K + Maximum Settings - FXAA + SSAA

Tomb Raider - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Ok last 2 for today for the user videos

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

Final Fantasy XIV ARR Heavensward - 4K + Maximum Settings - No AA

fat4l · 26 Jun 2016 at 08:34

There's this dilemma still in my head guys ......

Should I keep Asus 980Ti strix in SLI with waterblocks or go and get 1080 with a waterblock ?

Price-wise=the same.
Performance-wise=I would expect "up to" 50% more performance out of 980Ti SLI.

1. Not sure how 980Ti will perform under DX12 titles
2. Not gonna change graphics cards in 1-2years time
3. Not sure about SLI support
4. I play in 1440p so ....not sure if 1080 can get close to 100fps+
5. These asus strix 980Ti cards are voltage locked to 1.21V so watercooling may not be really worth it
6. 1080 is voltage locked too so.....beh...

What to do lol...

NirK · 26 Jun 2016 at 08:44

Looking at those videos I think 3440x1440 or 2560x1440 is definitely the "sweet spot" for the 1080, I do not think that even the 1080Ti will be good enough to get good FPS and good settings at 4k. The FPS and settings at 2560x1440 or 3440x1440 on the 1080 are good, but then 4k is about 70% more pixels than 3440x1440 or more than 2x 2560x1440.

It's fine if you're ok with 45-60FPS, Not so much if you're a fan of screaming high FPS though.
