RAMPAGE V EXTREME + 2x 980 Ti's (Reference)

[MrPsych0]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm a bit confused with these SLI Option's that the Rampage V Extreme haves and what SLI Bridge should I get for it because I want an "older" SLI combo with two ASUS 980 Ti's (Reference ones)

 

I know it's out dated and stuff, but i'd wish to stack'em like this image here:

 

My question is, is this possible? Or I have to use space like the next image?

 

If anyone rocking this setup could make a photo about it or smth, It would be cool.

 

Cheers,

You just need a longer SLI bridge. The one shown in Nvidia's picture is a 2-slot long bridge while the picture from someone else in a 4-slot long bridge.

Are you sure about that? I'm talking about a specific motherboard being:

Well if you want to run them like in the first pic, which wouldn’t be smart given better options you would need the bridge you first posted. 

 

Each vendor has a different naming scheme for spacing so find a design you like then go from there. 

 

Second pic spacing would  be better

due to the lane assignments, you'll have to run 2-way first card in top red x16 slot and second card in the last x16 (below the black x16).

40-lane - x16/x16

28-lane - x16/x8

 

if GPU is installed in 2nd x16 slot, the GPU will not be recognized for SLI.

Asus rampage v extreme SLI 

x1 & x3 pcie slot for max bandwidth if you have enough cpu lanes.

 

Now

 Then
