1060 sli

How did linus get the 1060 sli setup working?

Did he? because GTX 1060 is not SLI capable at all, you may try that DX12 Multi-GPU but I think only Ashes of Benchmark supports it and either ways SLi'ing these two would still be a worse solution than just upgrading to the RTX 2060.

I know but just saw something he did small video on fb two different 1060 in sli?

no thats incorrect two 1060s would out do a 2060

lolol still how did he maybe this post will make him tell lol...

Its possible that they used different auto sli, its a program that makes a virtual sli bridge. it only works on windows 10 test mode. it can sli every nvidia gpu with every but it will limit the vram to the lowest of the 2 cards. it does improve performance, like gt 1030 sli is a lot better then only a 1050 and 1050 sli is better then a 1050 ti(if you only use 2gb vram). its quite cool and can safe you a buck if you dont want to buy a better gpu(for example buying a 1070 if you already got a 1060 6gb)

I won't do it just interested how that would work I guess like you said some form of software trick maybe you can still do it even with no sli bridge via software.

Its explicit multi-GPU.

 

Its like SLI/Crossfire except its somewhat worse and even fewer games have the option. 

[Shogunluffy_1982]

that's what I was thinking.

Different auto sli is able to do it with a bridge(ive seen a few videos) but it has worse results then a standard bridge

The only reason Nvidia has the limitations of only certain cards can SLI and only identical cards etc is because they don't want to QA everything.  I believe a SLI bridge is still mandatory though. (But AMD hasn't needed a bridge for a long ass time, so I'm not sure why Nvidia requires it still.)

 

All you have to do is trick the Nvidia driver to allowing you to enable SLI and voila, hence Different-SLI.  (Obviously it's a huge pain in the ass to do this.)

must be that's why almost no one try this.
