sli+crossfire ? WHAT !?

[Redjo]

sli+crossfire !!!??? just watched the new video on LinusTechTips "ULTIMATE Distributed Computing Build Log" and i am shocked is this even exist ? 

 

I am going to buy titan x with amd 300 series ( jk to much money )  ( I BEALIVE I CAN FLY ) 

 

 

 

 

 

Excuse me i am just happy  

 

[Guest MinimalEffort]

They dont work in SLI/XFire...

 

Both GPUs are working independently, are you trollling or something?

In this video he doesn't use SLI nor Crossfire,

However he did this in another video.

[Str_Mape]

It's not SLI / Crossfire, the cards are running independently of each other and are not linked in any way.

[AlwaysFSX]

It's not. But a gold star for effort.

[niofalpha]

They each compute different parts of BOINC/ F@H. 

 

If you're thinking this is will work in gaming, it won't (Besides some DX12 Rumors).

[TheRetiredSlave]

It exists but it's useless (for gaming)..

 

The point of that video (err, the SLI+ CF video that was done a few months back) is to demonstrate the absurdity of having gaming technologies (physx, mantle, etc) locked to only one GPU vendor instead of being shared between both.

[Laputacake]

No, they are both working separately. Though I heard DX12 may allow AMD and Nvidia cards to be crossfired/SLI'd though not sure how accurate that is.

Uh, no it's not. Wrong video you're thinking of.

[MrChavelo]

But does this mean that you could game on one card and mine bitcoins on the other one?

[Redjo]

Yo yo calm down everybody i just read some comments under the video and my mind blow up ... excuse me

Technically DX12 can allow for multiple different GPUs to be used together, but anyone whose looked at Nvidia's (and to a lesser extent, AMD's) history knows that there is an extremely low low chance of them actually allowing users to do that.

I mean, they prevent people from SLI'ing a 680 with a 770 even though they're the same damn GPU, so why the hell would they let you SLI one with a R9-280x?

Yeah I noticed that.. That's why I edited the little disclaimer in parenthesis into that sentence..

Who knows what Directx 12 will bring to the table.

[NumLock21]

In this video he doesn't use SLI nor Crossfire,

However he did this in another video.

That thumnail clearly shows the AMD card sandwich between the 2 Nvidia cards in SLI :rolleyes:

That is more of Hybrid PhysX?

I linked the good video afterwards.

Nvidia will just break it
