The GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Support up to 4-Way SLI




/ 8 years ago

4412There’s been a lot of conflicting reports suggesting the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 can only support 2-way SLI configurations due to the new bridge design. Thankfully, NVIDIA addressed these concerns during today’s press briefing and stated that the Pascal architecture can house up to 4-way SLI setups. Not only that, the older non-flexible SLI bridges are backwards compatible because they offer enhanced bandwidth. Sadly, most people own the flexible 2-way bridges which mean they will have to go out and purchase the new SLI bridge. Of course, this has been blown out of proportion because the number of people using 3-way or 4-way GTX cards is incredibly small. It’s usually adopted by people who set benchmarking records in 3DMark or Unigine Valley. Please note we should be receiving an SLI bridge from NVIDIA very soon and testing two GTX 1080s to see what they are capable of!

Do you feel SLI is still a good investment? Unfortunately, it’s a niche which means many developers disregard it and don’t invest time into optimisation for multi-card users.
