Yeah, maybe because they weren't the ones at fault? Maybe nVidia messed it up - like on their Kepler cards, that didn't run on Sandy-E Systems?? Its not like nVidia never messes something up, is there?? So I'd look in both directions...

WTF? the cards work on every other motherboard except this one. And the OP already links to the Asus document that says two 2080tis are not supported as stable. How on earth is that Nvidias fault?

Just to clarify, other X399 platforms were confirmed to work by several users, including other Asus boards, the issue is exclusive to the flagship X399 board, the ROG Zenith Extreme. Additionally, since it seems the board is fine with supporting each GPU when the other is disabled, and only has this issue when two GPUs are used at once, would lead me to think it's not a hardware but a software issue, since the physical hardware for each slot and working with these GPUs works fine, just the POST check fails for some reason.

I find that interesting, perhaps they were having issues with compatibility for the Zenith Extreme specifically? I can't imagine they would have forgot to add full support to their flagship board... Either way, hopefully they're not too far off a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A basic setting or something that trips a power overload when two cards are loaded or something along those lines. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

I don't think it's a lack of interest. It might be more of an ROI issue with them. Spending a boat load of R&D and programming time to fix an issue that's only affecting 0.001% of their client base. Business is a complicated thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think it's a business or investment move, like the below quote, I think it's just they're new cards and it takes time to develop compatibility. Besides if a business were looking for the most pressing and needed compatibility issues, I doubt SLI/NVLink support for dual 2080TIs would be on the top of their list for support. 18 hours ago, givingtnt said: Eh, likely a bios update will fix it when its ready. the cards are barely out it makes sense that not all hardware is ready and compatible from day 1.
