How is it misleading? If nvidia is only optimizing for sli then that clearly means 3-way & 4-way aren't getting optimizations.

Then fix the thread title. Its misleading because it sounds like Nvidia is only supporting SLI with the newer cards



Also SLI in 2,3 or 4 way is still considered SLI so not sure what you are saying.

Re: Nvidia only supports up to SLI on 10 series cards permalink) Maybe it'd read better if it was 2 way SLI instead of just SLI, it also says "newer" implying that there's an "old" 10 series card.

Yes, running 2,3 or 4 cards is still considered a sli, but that isn't what is said in the video. Saying I'm running SLI when you're running a 4-way setup is wrong. If someone had a problem with their rig and said they were running sli you wouldn't know how many cards they have until asking. When someone says their running sli they usually mean 2 cards not 3 or 4.

Could be, but I've never heard of him. The thread title is horrible. It should say, 'Rumor is GTX 1080 is limited to 2-Way SLI'. Further in the video, he doesn't say they are limited and cites there are 3-way bridges. So...all in all I rank this as interesting but unconfirmed.

Reword your title. It is very misleading.





How is it misleading? If nvidia is only optimizing for sli then that clearly means 3-way & 4-way aren't getting optimizations.









Then fix the thread title. Its misleading because it sounds like Nvidia is only supporting SLI with the newer cards



Also SLI in 2,3 or 4 way is still considered SLI so not sure what you are saying.





lol, watch the video bro. SLI = 2 cards, 3-way sli = 3 cards, 4-way sli = 4 cards.





https://en.wikipedia.org/...calable_Link_Interface Since you are unaware of what SLI is





When a person says SLI they mean two cards. Saying SLI and meaning 4-way SLI is incorrect.





OP meant 2 cards, and if you watch the video, the guy said 2 cards as well.

https://youtu.be/uWvmt9wk0n4?t=427







The OPs thread title is misleading. Should state Nvidia only supports 2-way SLI on 10 series cards









I'd need another source beside random Youtube guy. After all, it does have two SLI fingers. If it was for certain limited to 2-Way, there would only be a single SLI finger on the PCB









It is not limited to 2-way, but officially it will be limited to 2-way, I supposed at the drivers level?



The guy is a reviewer I believe, so he probably has some good info.







Could be, but I've never heard of him. The thread title is horrible. It should say, 'Rumor is GTX 1080 is limited to 2-Way SLI'. Further in the video, he doesn't say they are limited and cites there are 3-way bridges. So...all in all I rank this as interesting but unconfirmed.







Until nVidia reveals the full specs everything is rumor. Here is the exact point in the video if anyone wants -



IMO though the way nVidia removed support for 4-way SLI and how poorly SLI drivers have been lately I do believe it.

That would be worse wouldn't it? It does have 2 sli fingers.

I agree. He isn't just a random guy. He is a reviewer like sadclown said.





He is? I've never heard of him.

Indeed. That would imply along with his statement of 3-way bridges that this entire thread is misleading.
