Will EVGA have NV Link for new cards available on 20.09?

Yes. NV Link is listed on the Nvidia website as a feature of the 20XX series cards. It specifically states that it implements the "SLI" standard at 50x the bandwidth previously available. I wonder if they made any changes that would make adding SLI support easier to game developers. I hope so. 

Seeing as how DX12 multi GPU implementation is 100% on the game developers - nope. Maybe M$ will make it easier, but I doubt it.

For all those invested in SLI, there will not be a 2 Slot nvlink bridge, so mATX systems are screwed.
 
I can only blame the horrible FE cooler for this.

Yep i think new sli will be awesome just look at this.

NV and EVGA are two Different Companies but lets Hope that EVGA comes out with their own NVLink Bridge.
 
Supported Graphics Cards Only $80.00 Link See Bottom of the Webpage.
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, GeForce RTX 2080
   
GeForce RTX NVLINK^™ BridgeThe GeForce RTX NVLink^™ bridge connects two NVLink SLI-ready graphics cards with 50X the transfer bandwidth of previous technologies. This means you can count on super-smooth gameplay at maximum resolutions with ultimate visual fidelity in GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and 2080 graphics cards.

NVLink the RAM finally becomes additive between the two cards 

Do we know this for sure? I know it works that way on the Quadro cards, but even the GeForce cards?

I was watching the whole release video, I could have misunderstood


 
CEO, kept jumping back & forth -- like a bad time travel movie
 
I'll let you know

This page has what appears to be a sample of what EVGA's NVLink will look like...... I hope it is accurate  :D

Looks good.
 

and check out those clock speeds!

Ok this bridge is so sick lol

So why does NVLINK allow stacked Vram usage and how is it different from HB sli bridge besides the marketing of new arch. and software. I actually want to know why or how is it different. Anyone care to shed light on this subject? Also does that mean SLI won’t be supported anymore for 1080 owners?

“This means NVIDIA can sell the GeForce RTX 2080 with 8GB of GDDR6 and if they wanted or needed more, grab a second one and throw it into NVLink and have 16GB of framebuffer. “

Why can’t HB bridges do that software level?

You are confusing terms with "Stacked Vram". Stacked Vram would be referring to implementation of memory, such as with HBM, where the DRAM is stacked with some form of TSV. You seem to be meaning aggregate, or additive.
 
NVLINK is a different bus technology that was developed as a higher speed interconnect than what PCIe delivers for GPU<->GPU and GPU<->CPU communication. This is the first implementation on consumer cards and it is ~50x the bandwidth of the older SLI bridges. The 50GB/s bandwidth presumably allows them enough headroom to let the driver manage aggregate resources like the Volta based Quadro and Tesla cards. The older SLI Bridges were never designed to share memory pools or other resources, they were designed to synchronize rendering for various types of SLI, such as Scan Line Interleave. SLI has gone through many different forms and meanings from rendering odd & even scan lines, rendering top & bottom half of frames, rendering two view ports for Left and Right eye in VR, etc.
 
Going across a 50x slower bus to access memory on another card isn't a software level issue. Even with that 50GB/s NVLINK, its still significantly slower than the 616GB/s local memory throughput on the 2080Ti. It will be interesting to see how SLI works on these new cards. It may require little to nothing from developers and the driver might simply present a "Virtual GPU", as Jensen suggested, of an aggregate of the resources while the driver manages which cores and memory instructions execute on.
 
This doesn't mean anything in terms of changes for SLI on 10 series cards. They will continue to work as they were designed.

That's what I don't get.  They never said anything about that and any info on this Link doesn't say ANYTHING about combining VRAM which maybe they aren't ready to do it on this series but maybe on the next so who knows.  Maybe it's there and they don't want the 2070s eating up all the sales from the rest of the SKU.  I would go the 2070 route if it were the case. lol

"They never said anything about that", Jensen alluded to it when referring to it as a "Virtual GPU" so its not unreasonable to think it might. I agree though that its speculation at this point and it will be very interesting to see how NVLINK changes what they can do with SLI.

I hope we have a 2-slot NVLink Bridge from EVGA for those of us with MATX.  Only thing stopping me from picking up two RTX 2080Ti's right now.  Otherwise updating to an ASRock X399M with a 2950X.  Coming from an ASUS X99M with a 5820K.

I picked up two RTX 2080Ti's but i think we will get that bridge in 1-2 months. Probably end of october (i just have that feeling). Took them 1 or 2 months for HB Bridge (Pascal cards)

no "TM" with the soon? I never take my Soons without TM.
