The Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 and 980 are both pretty impressive video cards, but whose cuisine... I mean which SLI configuration... will reign supreme?

And here I thought it was a legit question. 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

I'd rather the 980s, the scaling of 2x is generally more forgiving than 3x.

Most of LLTs videos for me in a nutshell :P

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Thanks Nick! Wow very surprised with these results tbh, glad I went with SLI 980s!

Loving these recent performance comparisons (yesterdays 8-core v 2-core and the 'How much RAM do you need' from a little while ago).

Much more interesting than 'We've got these 2 graphics cards with the same chip from 2 OEMs, let's see how much luck in the silicon lottery we got with each of them.'

4:38 , you don't actually give load consumption for the dual 980s , and it says temps in celsius

I would rather see a GTX 980 vs 2 * GTX 970 showdown and inspecting which experience will be better .
PS: 4:37: 500° Celsius? That's pretty hot...

Would have really liked to see graphs for GPU utilization to quantify how much the third GPU is even used.

I was rooting for the 2nd tier cards (from a bang to the buck perspective), disappointed they lost on consistency and poor utilization.
Its a pity games, with the exception of Tomb Raider, don't properly take advantage of multi graphics card setups, I guess they are simply not common enough for devs to put in the time to optimise it.
Even that is a rubbish reason, if games scaled great in SLI then there would be so many more multi graphics card setups around to take advantage of the theoretical power to cost ratio available.
I'm not saying its possible but it would be so much better if nvidia or AMD could design their cards with a much lower level access to each other, even to the point that the game doesn't HAVE to be programmed to split the processing between the cards. That way you wouldn't have to worry about a game not scaling across 2 or more cards, it could just work and scale to the same degree with all games.

Linus or @nicklmg or someone from LMG who reads these threads, idea for a video:
Why not make a fast as possible video on graphics optimization in games/multi GPU scaling? They're the kind of terms that is thrown around a lot (especially around the launch of a new game) but I bet most people (me included) don't know how it works, whats involved, how come some are better than others and some are just horrendous or don't work. I think that would make a pretty interesting video.

I did not know you could SLI 2 cards from different manufacturers

I have a gigabyte 970 g1 I can pair that with any other 970 according to what I'm seeing in this video? Or is there more to it

Thanks for the review. Can a kind soul tell me what test bench linus is using? THanks!

Yes, you can pair any two cards of the same tier and Vram amount. So any two 970's can be SLI'ed together. You do not need another G1 to do so.

 

However, both cards will use the clock speed of the slowest clocked card. So if you do pair your G1 with a non OC'ed card, both cards will run at the Nvidia spec speed, unless you OC both of the cards.

I believe its a 5960X on an Asus X99 Deluxe, I dont remember the Ram kit though.
