Can A i9-9900K Handle 2080 Ti in SLi Configuration?

Knight77

I currently have a 5Ghz i9-9900K with a RTX Ti running around 1755 MHz. 

 

I wanted to ask, if I add another 2080 Ti in SLi - will my CPU be able to keep up? 

 

Or will it bottleneck these two cards?

it should have no problem if you are gaming at 4k or ultrawide 1440p

At  high resolution and refresh rate like 1440p 120 FPS, 1440p Ultrawide, and 4K it should be fine.

 

I personally don't think you should be using SLI if you're gaming, though. The low SLI support, power consumption, and not being able to scale well makes it a meh buy (also, 2000+ for two cards? mmmm).

It's fine, buy why? SLI is very, very rarely worth it. I'm not even sure many games still support it.

It'd be a matter of whether or not 8x vs 16x makes a difference, and while it is starting to want to make a difference with the 2080 Ti I still think Skylake-X Refresh or not would be a worse pick.

 

Now we'll have this supposedly 10c/20t i9 10999K on mainstream, carrying still 16 pci-e lanes only to avoid it cannibalizing HEDT, makes me want AMD to succeed even more heheh

yeah, Skylake-X isn't as good as a gaming CPU itself so unless PCIe slows SLI down, go CFL-R

 

But isn't AM4 supposed to still be 16 PCIe lanes for GPU?

This is exactly what I’m confused about. 

 

Ive spent so much money and want to at least make sure my system and CPU is making use of a least one RTX Ti. 

 

However - I need to be hitting 200 Hz at UltraWide 1440p and so to keep stable FPS - I can add another RTX Ti to my setup - but only if it’s available power is going to be used.

What 200Hz 1440P ultrawide's exist? And whether the second is utilised depends on the game, majority of games SLI is not worth it.

Exactly, merits to ring bus and other things, the i9 9900k or for the matter the i7 9700k are still the picks for the dreams game setup.

 

Regarding Zen2 I do recall some talking on the possibility it'd have 24 pcie lanes from CPU for the higher skus, it's more than fitting as it'd steal costumers from Intel hedt alone and not cause issues to TR newest line ups.

 

We won't know for sure yet though... More if a logical dream.

You will be fine, the 2080 Ti may be finally the card that finally saturates 8x but it's still perfectly functional at it and you are still better off with the i9 9900k to push as much for as possible, high refresh rate will always be more cpu intensive.

 

Do have in mind that adjusting settings instead of making them all out can always provide you that last bit you're missing if you are GPU bound.

 

By the way, what 1440p ultrawide do you actually own? I don't know any that has a refresh rate of 200hz natively if I'm honest.

24 lanes from the CPU, but do they all end up in PCIe slots? Current AM4 Ryzen has 16 lanes for GPU, 4 for an M.2 PCIe SSD, 4 for the chipset.

I will be getting the PG35VQ when it’s out in June. 

 

At at the moment I’m dual 1K 240 and 2K 165. 

 

But i see drops when Max Settings sometimes and campaign modes are usually more demanding than MP. 

 

If another Ti helps boost FPS even by 20 FPS then it’s worth it to me.

That’s true but if it’s going to suffer due to bottlenecking with the CPU then there’s no point spending $2,200 for another card ...

 

However - if it’s going to offer a decent bump in FPS then it’s worth it. 

 

Ive seen some BM with the 2 cards having no impact and some having huge difference.

for 200hz, there will be some games that the 9900k can't handle, off the top of my head, it'd be any ubisoft games, path of exile. The 200hz will most likely be used for esports games instead, with apex fortnite being the main titles.

 

The hardware, both cpu and gpu, just isn't ready for 1440/200hz

So not even a 9900K and RTX Ti SLi can do 3440x1440 @ 200Hz with relatively high Settings in MP games? 

 

I’m a big halo fan too and with it having UltraWide Support confirmed - was hoping to at least get High Settings 200 Hz if not maxed out ...

 

So we are looking at Next Gen? Intel Ice Lake &  Nvidia 3080 Ti (or whatever they call it) ?

let say the 2080 ti can do 700m pixels a second (4k 85fps), 1440p ultrawide 200hz is 1billion pixels a second, assuming the game scales 50% in sli you could be close, but that's assuming sli functions properly.

 

Intel's next gen will be a mess (calling it), right now in the more intensive games, avg fps on a 8700k/9700k/9900k is around 130fps, you will need 50% more single thread performance to pull 200fps off, we are also 50% off in a single card solution.

 

I have a 4k/98/144hz monitor, and the most use i've gotten from it is hdr in netflix/console gaming/4k 98hz hdr gaming, for 4k 144hz there's a gpu bottleneck, for 200hz, it's likely gonna be both  You could try making it work with 2080 ti sli, but imho it's at least 3 years too early to pull 1440p/200hz off. a mature 14nm cpu and 2 more gens of single gpu can do it.

 

also before you buy the monitor, make sure it can run 200hz in 4:4:4 instead of 4:2:2, the display port needs to be 1.4a instead of 1.4.

You could run it no problem, but would only use SLI for 4K.    I've got much older CPU and modern games like Quake Champions & Division 2 run perfect w/ Ultra Settings @ 1440p for me.

Ok, thanks for this. 

 

So my GPU is more upgradeable in the future without getting stuck on the CPU?

 

and would 1440p UW 144Hz be more viable?

Doesn't it cut the speed of data transfer of each card in half when in sli? I believe that when you connect two pci express x16 cards it drops them down to 8x no matter what there are no motherboard / cpu that will run them both at x16. So you lose speed but I have no experience with this but im assuming your frame rates would drop in sli BUT you would be able to crank up the graphics to get double the graphics quality. From what I read that sums it up... Half the speed but twice the graphics quality.

I don’t see how this is possible if you get less speed but better graphics?

 

in that case you would get 50% of each card which is 100% one card ...

 

SLi wouldn’t make sense at all...

if you have the money, yes it can.

 

but sli is really not worth it since the fermi times. it's not really performing well in most of the games other than sniper elite, which it doesnt even need sli to run on two graphics card. some games will have higher fps, some dont, some even less; it's never 1+1=2.

i don't see any usecase other than driving super high resolution. but i think getting an RTX Titan is the way to go, it's better to have a fast gpu than two slow  gpu (if you call rtx 2080ti slow).

why everybody post the spec of their rig here? i dont! cuz its made of mashed potatoes!

Sli has been great in every gen. The game devs are the issues along with youtubers. 

 

Only way to know if it will work is to try. 

Had the internet experts on here tell me I didn’t need a cpu upgrade and they were wrong. Same when it came to said upgraded cpu handling two cards in 1440. 

 

You have he cash, so might as well. Or keep doing the waiting game every gen because something else will come out and the games keep changing with it.

1440p 144hz uw would be more viable for a few reasons, i can see 1 2080 ti running most games 120-144hz on med-high, the only games that even remotely needs 200hz are competitive shooters, but keep in mind that hdr400 on the cheaper 1440p monitors isn't really hdr (it's just marketing), and local dimming makes for pretty damn good blacks on the PG35VQ/X35.

 

I took a look at the PG35VQ and it looks similar specs to the 27inch 4k model, if so, wait a bit for reviews as asus botched the color uniformity and the Acer model was calibrated better out of the box, the uniformity inbalance can cause slight glows at the corners and that's just plain laziness from asus. So wait for reviews to see which model you should get, i'd guess it to be 3k+ anyway.
