    Because they are bound by Nvidia, I suspect. Friday, it will be game on and we will know the truth behind everything.

    Honestly until people get the HB bridge SLI results are pointless in my opinion. The whole thing is suppose to be that the HB bridge provides some great boost in performance.

    I'm not trying to see how SLI GTX 1080 works, I'm curious as to why well a GTX GTX 1080/1070 stacks up against SLI GTX 980/970/Ti

    It appears that reviewers were only sent one GPU. I suspect that they were told to not do SLI comparisons against other models as they were not able to also compare those with GTX 1080 SLI performance.

    I've seen a review or two with the 980 SLI against the 1080... Obviously, as Nvidia stated, the 1080 is faster... However, no one is talking about the 980ti in SLI against the 1080 for obvious reasons... The 980ti SLI is faster.

    Yeah but didn't they say the ridged bridge with the led light works just the same?

    And they will milk the money on this bridge. No way is it going to be a $20 bridge, but more of $100. Just watch.

    There's always PCPer's review, which compared a 1080 to both a 980 and 980 SLI. 980 Ti SLI isn't really a fair comparison, since a single card barely competes with 980 SLI.

    If thats the case then there has been a couple of them posted but most people want to see 1:1 comparison so they can determine how their money will best be spent.

    I wouldn't think so. My educated guess would be 15-25% depending upon the title and resolution.

    If those results posted above are accurate from the second graph, My 980ti SLI OC'ed scores 800 points less in Firestrike extreme and 300 points less in Firestrike, Compared to the 1080 SLI. I did not bench ultra. And these are stable everyday clocks on my Ti's +140 +24Mv running at 1506 and peak temps spikes 42C on water.  I could push them higher I am sure.

    They are 'accurate' for his system. What isn't stated is what clocks he was running the CPU at. That can have a significant impact on scores. In a few days we'll have a much wider variety to compare and contrast.
