Hey guys,

 

I've bought myself a second gtx 980 for crimbo and was wondering would it be coming with a sli cable ? It's evga. If not can you let me know soonish as my mobo case is at my dad's so i would need to get it tonight rather than tommorow.

 

Thanks guys

 

:)

The SLI bridge comes with the motherboard, not the card

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

You're using SLI 980's on an 8350?

 

Are we sure PCIE 2.0 isn't going to bottleneck two 980's?  :wacko:

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

If your motherboard didn't come with one then it probably doesn't support SLI. Supports 3-way SLI.

nah, we are only capping out pci-e 3.0 4x, so pci-3 2.0 16x is the same as 3.0 8x, so it will be fine

2x 290x was really close to maxing out PCIE 2.0, with bridgeless crossfire and all. I imagine 2x 980's with bridge will surely be almost as demanding
