So I have a asrock z170 extreme 4 motherboard(about £115 new at the time) from my 2016 build and I was looking to upgrade my rig but in looking for a new motherboard I was supprised to at the lack of SLI support. Every atx board had crossfire support but the cheapest bord with SLI support was £220 and asrocks cheapest board with SLI support what their Taichi Z490 board priced at £395 Is this something to do with Nvidia or is is solely a motherboard manufacturers money making scheme?

A few months ago I built my first gaming rig, and decided to stuff it with an R7 3700x paired with two GTX 1080 FE in SLI. I got a stupid good deal on the pair of cards with the high bandwidth bridge thrown in. But as of late I've found myself at a bit of a crossroad. After doing some research I've found out that while SLI can be fun, it has some caveats. So the question I'm posing is this...considering that I got a really good deal on the cards that I have, should I stick with them? Or should I upgrade to a RTX 2080ti and sell my current cards? And for either choice, please explain why I should go that route. Thanks!

I have a dt 1070 ftw gpu I know a buddy that will sell me his old 1070 dirt cheep. Myquestion is will a dt 1070 ftw which is basically a 1070 run in sli with a standard 1070 and would it even be worthwhile? Thanks

Hi guys, So the story goes, i'm bout the upgrade my whole pc. And i've got pretty much everything figured out. Only one thing left... Should i go 2070 Super in SLI config or go for a single 2080 ti??? Note: I will be watercooling everything My sytem right now (pretty outdated): CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K GPU: GTx 760 SLI RAM: 16 GB corsair vengeance Case: Fractal Design R4 PSU: Corsair RM 650 CPU Cooler: Noctua nhd 14 Im excited to see your opinions!

Hello everyone, I am have a lenovo p700 workstarion with 2x xeon e5 v4 and 2x NVIDIA GTX 1070 Founder edition graphics card. I brought them because I want to use them in SLI but my motherboard doesn't support SLI( it's only support for Quadro m5200 in sli ). I have tried differentSLI and HyperSLI but none is working now my system is using only one of the cards even two of them are installed . So, what can I do now ? Thank you

will have 2 bios modded/8gb msi p104-100's i plan to sli in early may, but since its got some 1080 specs and some 1070, its hard to tell what bridge i will need. my asrock z390 motherboard came with some type of bridge. how do i tell which to use for the cards? pretty sure 1070 is sli only, but with the card having the memory clock of an 80, and being newer, it is hard to say. im using linux so shouldn't be too bottlenecked. if this sli even works, sli=afr, or sli=on multigpu=on? do not know what the diffrence completely new to the conecpt of sli and on drivers 418 until 430 gets opengl 32 bit code for steam. heard modded minecraft, gtav, and shadow of the tombraider support sli so for gaming whats best sli command? also any tips for enabling physX or anything like that? i play in 1080p, yet minecraft gets only close to 30fps with bsl shaders high settings on my current card, so hopefully this sli will help.

Correct me if this thread belongs in psu, but i plan to upgrade from a p106 to p104-100 sli. i noticed the p104 is slightly faster than a 1070 so i went with the 8gb version. i leave my cpu fan and 2 case fans at max speed all the time. and my 8086k maxes at 65degrees on all cores. the p106 is really quiot slow fan speed usually maxing out at 53-ish degrees. the main concern is the psu. is 750 watts enough for the p104 sli? ita a corsair 2019 rm750 gold. my cpu is not overclocked the board just enabled the boost so can go to 4.3 ghz. @1.3 volts according to bios. im on linux, and currently use the adaptive clock so i do not know if its concidered a gpu overclock.

Hi, so what would be a good choice for Amd Ryzen 3700x? I have two scenarios, A) one with SLI capability and B) no-SLI. I currently have a GTX 1070 as a GPU and I could get another one as a second hand. I did watch YouTube and did check google on what they say about SLI and I understand sometimes SLI gives only minor boost and sometimes a big one, depending on the game. For A) and SLI I would need X470 or X570 board right and at a reasonable price. How about Asrock Fatality X470 Gaming K4, those ones are about 160-180€. I guess they are on sale and going away soon. Asrock X470 Taichi, those are about 220-230€. X570 boards cost a bit more but I don’t want to pay more than about 300€/330USD. So how about Asus Prime X570-pro Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Did I miss some of the lower end ones with SLI support? It is hard to figure out since vendors sometimes say CrossFire AND SLI but in the specs I find that it only has CrossFire. Also checking every single manufacturer web page is tedious... B) No-SLI, it looks like the MSI B450 Tomahawk at about 120-130€ seems to be the go to choice but as I understand MSI messed up with their X570 boards. How about the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570? Is that a good one at 210-230€.

I everyone, I currently own 2 video cards, one new and one old, RTX 2070 8gb (TU106-400) and GTX 770 4GB (GK104). I will list my system below, but i was wondering, is there any chance running them in SLI is possible, and will doing so give me at least 10 more fps in Doom Eternal, so i can play it on my 32x10 3840x1200 Monitor at 120 fps? It currently fluctuates between 80 and 110. System: Motherboard: ASRock x570 Pro4. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x RAM: 32(2x16) DDR4 3200MHz (1600x2 according to CPU-Z) Monitor: Samsung 43" CJ890,32x10 3840x1200 120 FPS.

I tried the command below and nothing happens. nvdis driver only sees my single p106 even tho the second is in the system. i want to sli like the 1060 sli hack. figured step one is making the driver see card number two. both cards are 6gb vram. only diffrence is one is passive cooled. i think changing the setting to make the card run at x8 may help, but no way in bios. nvidia-xconfig -sli=on -multigpu=on -
Hey guys, just signed up to the forum! I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice, i wanted to upgrade GPUs as I have a Gigabyte gtx 960 4gb (bit outdated), but ive been reading that new gpus should be dropping soon but with this corona virus i would assume it would be delaying that massively. So pretty much im wondering should I: 1. Buy 2070 super and bite the bullet if new gpus drop even tho its a $800 aus card 2. Buy another 960 and run SLI until new gpus drop - i found one for $160 aus Im more leaning toward 2 as my performance isnt that bad and id rather new gpus to drop and then build new pc then instead of buying a 2070 now and it being inferior in 2-6 months Cheers lads!

On linux got a 2nd p106, and both are in the system, however the driver sees only one. how do i sli them? i heard of the hack for a 1060-sli, figured its applicable but cannot find the details anywhere. some help please. also im using the drivers in this ppa. https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Hello, As the title says, I want to know if I can run two GTX 1070 on my motherboard. I saw that the motherboard has the following slots: 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x16 1x PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x4 I did some research on internet and I saw that X4 slot is slower by 3-4 FPS in most of the games. So I was wonder If I can make a SLI on this motherboard and if I can get a decent improvement. The GTX 1070 is really cheap in my country now so that's why I was thinking about getting another one rather than upgrading the current GPU. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have been using a gaming setup with two GTX 980s with SLI and I was wondering if I should use my friend's old graphics card. I don't have it on hand, but my friend assured me that is was very powerful. If someone could spare a minute and find out what the equivalent is, that would be much helpful. (Can't find anything online) Thanks, ILikeToSleep

I decided to put my hd 7570 in my system as a encoder with a rx 470 as the main gpu but when I did this I noticed significant frame drops is it the drivers effecting cpu usage should this be happening if so does anyone know why

Hi I have a problem to chooseing a gpu i want a 2080ti but is expensive or go with 2x 2070 or wait a 3000 series (MBY) any good gpu recommendations?
-
Gigabyte has a couple 1080ti cards available some with AIO some air cooled some even with a water block. my question is if I got This could I run sli with This? are they actually the same card just with two different cooling solutions? sorry if this is a topic that’s been created already I had a hard time finding an answer.

Hi All Randomly saw some videos pop up about NVLink after I looked at support for my Rift and how people were getting amazing performance in games that I thought no longer supported multiple GPUs. Aside from a little bit of VR, I mostly play Blizzard games as I don't have as much time to just venture to others currently: Overwatch Hearthstone (obviously this one isn't important!) WoW (I believe this is actually supported and confirmed on the site) HOTS My understanding was that SLI/Crossfire no longer worked in pretty much any game apart from Wow, APEX and a smattering of others where devs were putting the time in. I know when people talk about SLI they often just refer to NVLink as SLI out of habit but if you just type "Overwatch NVLink" into Youtube there are various hits with people showing supposedly much greater Overwatch performance, even some benchmarks with 2080TIx2 vs Titansx2, though i believe I read that it wasn't supported. Does anyone know if/have any experience with this and how supported NVLink is? If it's something that will still see reasonable gains (I'm not expecting double performance etc) then for my last PC for a long time, I'd like to go with it. Many thanks!

Now for some alternatives, I want to incorporate some ECC memory if possible but not sure if motherboard will let me do it and also not sure if i have to drop some of my choices out in order to get ECC. Also I expected to have difficulties with GPUs and motherboard since im going for MSI RTX with its huge dimensions that covers multiple PCIs, not sure if I can bridge them together or maybe have to go just single, also I want some space for wireless card + sound card and I think it’s nearly impossible to get all of these available at once, maybe anyone will have a good idea with some substitutions or maybe different arrangements. -
While I know that many would say just spend the money on a single card, when you look at possible cost to performance on a budget...there's just not enough evidence to make a counter argument. So, is it worth it? I ask this question. If running an x99 mother board with a 40 PCIe express lanes cpu that gives you two of the PCIe ports at x16 speed and currently running a single GTX1070 is it worth buying another one used and putting in SLI? Try searching on youtube for anyone who does a comparison of the GTX 1070 in SLI vs say the RTX 2080 or 2080ti, there's not many. BUT, if you look, there are one or two. To do a full system upgrade would be hundreds, and at the time of release buying two new 1070s wouldn't make it worth it. But, on eBay today you can find a standard used 1070 around $200. So, would it make sense to spend about $200 on another 1070 and $30 to $40 for the SLI bridge and buy some more time or not spend the money and save longer. See attached comparison video of GTX 1070 in SLI vs RTX 2080ti, seems like since the improvements in SLI support spending $200 would get me close to the performance of a 2080ti for a fraction of the price (of course without raytracing and on only optimized titles). Why don't more youtube creators work on these possible upgrade combinations and show comparable benchmarks to give guidance for those on a budget who need options and already have systems? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwEn5IVv2ws

Hello everyone, For some reason my monitor will only work on the 2nd card when running windows. The monitor will work on the 1st card during boot only or if I disable SLI. has anyone crossed such problem before? I've tried swapping the cards but nothing changed. Note: the monitor used to work on the 1st card for a long time. All of a sudden, it'll only work on the 2nd card.

question assigning separate rendering tasks to separate gpus?
DarkACB posted a topic in Graphics Cards
so, i was thinking about high resolution rendering, specifically the fact that it is an incredibly high burden on the gpu. heres my question: is it possible to assign separate rendering tasks to seperate gpus. ex: assigning graphics rendering to one gpu, and assigning resolution rendering in another gpu. im not sure if something like this has been developed or attempted, but out of curiosity, would it be possible to buy a cheaper gpu and a more powerful gpu and assign resolution rendering to the cheap one, and the rest to the powerful one? edit: this would be for video games. sorry, forgot to mention the most important part of the question. edit2: this is a hypothetical question. i'm not currently using two gpus, nor do i even have an extra pcie slot to fit another gpu. i'm simply curious whether it's possible to achieve. -
I'm investing in a high-end machine that'll have two Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080Ti blower GPU's linked together along with a Nvidia Quadro RTX 8000. The idea is that I would use the former two cards for gaming and the latter for rendering and other productive apps (i.e. Adobe Creative Suite). So I wonder if it is possible to get specific apps to use either one or the other for their graphics processing in both Windows and Linux (as I'm also looking to make it a multi-boot system). If so how? Thanks. -
I currently have an X570 Steel Legend MB that I really enjoy. It says it supports Crossfire and Quad Crossfire. The board has 2 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots. I'm wondering if I could possibly SLI 2 old 1070s on this board. I'm not really familiar with SLI, what are the reasons it wouldn't/would work? Thanks for the help.

Hello there, I wanted to share my new project build with you. Albedo (Latin: albedo, meaning 'whiteness') is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body. I'm an PC enthusiast and IT specialist from southern Germany and quite new to this forum, nevertheless I'm a frequent viewer of ltt videos and that's why I also post this build here. I'd like to start with the overall specs, so you know what to expect: Hardware: Case: Watercooling: As you can see that's quite an overkill build, but also my money, but I'm not only gaming on this machine, as that would be quite wasteful. Now little Storytime: The idea of a new build came to my mind with the release of the AMD Ryzen 3000 series, I saw that sweet 16 core CPU and knew I needed it. Then a good friend of mine had the idea to make a little mod series for him, me and a few willing customers. That decided we designed a prototype case with Parvum Systems in an Evangelion Anime Style (Eva-01) and ordered it mid august'19. I received the case mid/end december with major defects, replacement parts still missing, and that's why I hit my frustration limit (can tell you more about that if wished). I found about PC Design foundry and ordered a new case there. Case is now in design and manufacturing starts today. The Evangelion Mini series is dead for now, prototype case will be used by said friend, when replacement parts arrive. I'm very eager to start with the build process soon, every part of the hardware and watercooling is already at home, and waiting to be used. Updates:
