was it a rumour !

hi 

I want to know that was it  rumour that Pascal based gpu (consumer level) will have NVLINK technology , if it is true than who will buy gpu accelerator , they will be of no use than (I think ) , I'm confused , cause most reviewers are saying that gtx 1080 /1070 are more on workstation works rather than gaming, than it might be possible that it's not a rumour , so do you guys know about that ?

NVLink I believe is only for workstation based computers or servers as we have no use for something like that. PCIe 3.0 x16 is still plenty for consumers.

I think how much will it improve cpu performance , and cpu intensive applications  would be really benefited and most important for most of us it would really affect Adobe cc , reducing so much of time, but again, if  Pascal gpu will have NVLINK

No. Nobody ever said NVLINK would be coming with consumer graphics cards, it was always rumored as a high-end feature for super computers and workstations.

Even if the CPU could get 10x the bandwidth, that would still not make it faster.

I wish NVLINK could ever  come with consumer level gpus , btw thanks

It wouldn't make a difference - PCIe isn't bottlenecking anything

? compared to accelerator?

NVLink would be useless to Joe Average

NVLink is meant as a link between the CPU and GPU. In areas where the CPU is only be used(mainly), it will do nothing. Like I said, for consumers, PCIe 3.0 x16 is plenty fast. There's no point in us having it.

I got wrong info sorry , I thought NVLINK reduce cpu load by taking load on gpu chip itself  and rest other processing data to cpu  , this will improve cpu performance , but again I think now it's wrong  , nvlink is something else

NVLink isn't going to be on anything but specialist servers. Its a complete replacement interconnect and the way Nvidia announced it a few weeks ago with their custom expensive servers tells us what we need to know, its aimed squarely at compute servers. Not surprising actually because the only thing that really needs the bandwidth is compute.
