SajinHeavyHemiSajinHeavyHemiCould 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.That would be worse wouldn't it? It does have 2 sli fingers.Indeed. That would imply along with his statement of 3-way bridges that this entire thread is misleading.The newer bridges only support SLI. Not 3-way or 4-way.

Sajinhttp://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080 Select "SLI" at top by green notify me button. Takes you directly to pic showing two cards in SLI. It doesn't say 2-way SLI.

XrayMan Should have just made it easier and they should just labeled the following for us nerds: Bi-SLI= 2 cards Tri-SLI= 3 cards Quad SLI= 4 cards.
SajinI go by what the drivers say.
XrayManSajinI go by what the drivers say. See, there you go again. Time for bed.
aka_STEVE_bA weird choice made that the new SLI HB bridge only work on the 1080...?
Jediexpress""Nvidia only supports SLI on 10 series cards""The title suggests that Nvidia will no longer support SLi in older cards. (i.e. SLi no longer supported on 400, 500, 600, 700 and 900 series cards).. I watched the entire video. And this is what he actually said ""They Only support natively, two cards. You're welcome to do as many more as you want. But they are only supporting two cards in SLi for maximum performance.""
Scarlet-TechI 100% agree that this title is extremely misleading. "Nvidia only supports SLI on 10 series cards" suggests the nvidia is completely dropping all SLI support for cards prior to the 1000 series. "Nvidia will only officially support 2 way sli with the 1000 series cards" is FAR less click bait.

gridironcpjThat's pretty dumb, considering Nvidia is essentially saying "please don't spend more money on our products!" While it's true that 3-way SLI scaling isn't the best, this becomes decreasingly the case as you increase the resolution. 4K scaling for SLI is much better than 2K scaling for SLI. Hence, 3-way SLI isn't totally stupid for 4K gaming, especially once we start seeing 4K displays above 60Hz. While most people won't care about this, I see this as a step backwards. What are enthusiasts supposed to populate their PCI-E slots with now? Also, SLI support got a lot worse with Maxwell. I partially blame the influx of new PC gamers, as PC gaming has grown a lot in the last 5 years. The majority consumer type dictates the direction of the industry. Since most consumers seem to think a GTX 970 is good enough for "maxing anything" and "smooth framerates," it's no wonder Nvidia stopped caring about the enthusiast who buys 2-4 graphics cards every year. Unfortunately, I don't see SLI support getting any better with Pascal, given the trend. My PC would look so empty with just one GPU

SajinI doubt older gens are going to be getting optimizations now.
OryatoShould say 2-way SLI in the title. A 4-way SLI user can still say they use SLI.
