NVIDIA SLI, i got a question

[Kamryy]

will normal Msi GTX 1080 gaming 8GB work with Msi gtx 1080 gaming x 8Gb in SLI? pleaseee

You can but why

[Moonzy]

yea, if the bridge can connect the fingers

sometimes the card have different pcb width, so the connector may not align well

 

obligatory msg: if u dont have a 2nd 1080, dont buy another one just to SLI

it may work for some games but not others, you also need a SLI capable motherboard

as well and x8 pcie lane to each card

 

you can try it and see how it goes for you, but most likely selling those cards and buying a single faster card is the better option

or keep both until rtx 3000 is restocked

By compatible do you mean it has multiple 16x PCIe slots, or that it is rated to work with SLI. It need to explicitly support SLI for it to work.
