Just because it could be technically correct (which it is not) doesnt make it any less confusing, just put a 2-way in there and everybody is on the same page from the get go.

Some people just want to be unique, like that bent fork meme. Sli is the technology, 2-3-4 is the denomination, not that complicated for most of us here. Anyway, the comment on this limitation is gaining a lot of tracking on the net. Tech sites are reporting. I think someone from nvidia may have to do some damage control.

Nvidia only supports up to SLI on 10 series cards

well i'm with a lot off u and if the new hi end cards will not do 3 and 4 way I will go amd lol when I up grade. both my regs. don't care just like my 4way builds . it's all about the money' and they said new cards faster in 2way thin old cards in 2way but maybe not in 3or4way lol so whin ti's and kingpins and titans come out they will unlock more off what this card can do. hell with nvlink and pascal he said u could even do 8way if u wanted too . now that not to say they will but it can.

+1 Can't wait to see how 1080 sli does versus 980 ti/Titan X in 3-way/4-way config.

Story behind image: One final thing to show off before we go dark (meaning we'll be under NDA embargo) is Nvidia's VR Fun House tech demo. It leverages massive amounts of PhysX, HairWorks, and other Nvidia technologies, and it's apparently more than a little demanding. How demanding? Nvidia had to use three—yes, three—GTX 1080 cards to keep Fun House running smoothly at 90 fps. The system was from OriginPC, and it was doing VR SLI on two of the GPUs, with the third GPU handling all the PhysX calculations. I suspect the PhysX aspect was overkill and would have worked fine on lower end GeForce cards, but it's still an impressive tour de force for Nvidia and Pascal. http://www.pcgamer.com/nv...070-features-detailed/

NVIDIA refers to 2-way SLI throughout their guide here which makes me think that the title should reflect that. I was a bit confused by the title personally and while I was anticipating it to be about 2-way, I had initially considered the title to be a typo. The control panel may just say "SLI" for 2 cards but that doesn't mean that SLI by itself must be 2 cards. Before 3-way and 4-way existed, there was only SLI in the control panel. When the control panel was extended to include 3-way and 4-way they most likely just didn't bother to rename "SLI" to 2-way SLI.

Kind of sad since the power requirements and temps are lower it makes 3-way and 4-way easier. But with no driver support means more headaches and hacking. So sorry EVGA I can only buy two of your cards at a time per system. :( or :)

Does anyone know if EMA supports more than 2 GPUs? I can't find anything about it one way or another.

maybe best way to think about it is, if nvidia used 3 1080s in the showroom (one being dedicated to physx) i think its a safe bet that 1080 will be restricted to 2 way, reason is that was perfect opportunity for nvidia to show case possibly 3-way sli with 4th being physx, being a booth of nvidia and all surely if 3 way was supported they have no issue bringing the 3rd card for tri sli as opposed to 2way+physx? but they stuck to 2 way, maybe we can read into this as being an accidental way of confirming only 2way support?
or maybe im tripping nuts and over thinking this lol

I bet to see quite a few green card fans to drop Nvidia this year, due to the Sli limitation, regardless of whether there is small gain beyond 2 way or not. I have to admit, I'm just waiting for AMD to come up with something that is even slightly interesting and I won't feel bad at all to join the red team.

I have returned after a 2 year hiatus to participate in a soon-to-be epic thread. This lack of 3/4 way SLI is disappointing. For what it's worth Sajin, I knew exactly what you meant when I read the title. I'm still rocking my 4 Titans on 7680x1440. I really enjoy the performance of one card/screen. Was looking forward to picking up 3 of these, but it looks like I will wait.
Oh and hey everyone:)

I have to admit that a few days ago when I first read the title of this thread, I didn't quite understand it either. So I PM'd Sajin, asked my questions, and got my answers. I was like, oh duh. LOL. I think i was reading to much into it, and started imagining other things or or something. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. ;)

1080 supports 2,3 4 way SLi...the problem is that the HB bridge only works 2-way as of now - sacrificing any other card not getting any bandwidth - -
look at the bridge - a standard single sli bridge is 1/2 that size wide
HB bridge
Duh!! comes to mind here - - ie 4 way sli bridge.... in a 2 way config
makes for double bandwidth
that doesn't stop you from using a dedicated Physx or going double 2-way
if Nvidia was that concerned with bandwidth then make a NVlink connector for the cards or devise new SLI transit protocol..ie sli 2.0
Nvlink is not for consumer cards, and is only planned for 2 super computers at this point. Notice how nvlink was all the rage, even after I posted numerous article shooting it down, and now... Not a peep.. No review sites, no you tubers, and hardly any forum members... Nvlink is a pipe dream for consumers for at least another year or two at absolutely minimum.. And I laugh at the people that believed they would get nvlink and be able to use 8 cards for gaming... That dream can officially Rest In Peace, especially since 3 cards aren't officially supported. Also, you meant a the high bandwidth bridge resembles a 3 way bridge, since 4 way bridges are wired completely different than 2 way and 3 way bridges.
