The biggest enthusiasts who dream of a powerful hardware consisting of 3 or 4 new cards Nvidia , in the case of the latest green products will have to overcome the taste. Ryan Shrout of PC Perspective decided to look more closely at the support by the models GTX 10xx the SLI to carry out benchmarks for sets of multiple cards and found out that if the two cards are supported without changes, so producer GeForce’ów gave up a triple and quad SLI.
These configurations were to be supported, although during the presentation of the new Nvidia promised that their users will have to get called. “Enthusiast Key”. The relevant application generates the key is not yet available, therefore Shrout contacted the manufacturer, hoping that he could get one for testing, but received a reply that the Greens are moving away from the concept of “key for enthusiasts” and focus primarily on the dual SLI using the new SLI board, which will double the bandwidth in this mode.
Nvidia added that the technology DirectX 12 and Nvidia SLI Works VR allows developers to direct the implementation of multiple GPUs in their games and applications, and if you decide to use them, such software will not need SLI profiles. Thus, developers can manually enter option to support more than two GPUs, but probably opt for a few, because it will require extra work, the effects of which will benefit a very small group of players.
The only exception for which decided to Nvidia are testing applications (benchmarks) dedicated community OC, as the Fire Strike, Unigine or Catzilla, where he still will be supported SLI for 3 or 4 cards.
This decision probably will not have a major impact on business performance, as well as the players themselves, because they affect only the few enthusiasts who can afford such extravagance as the purchase of 4 cards GTX 1080.
