No SLI for GeForce GTX 1060 ?
News on the web spreading like wildfire is that the upcoming GeForce GTX 1060 could possibly not be SLI compatible. Judging from leaked photos it seems clear that the card does not have SLI connectors.
Obviously it could be possible that the card doesn't need any SLI bridge and moves its data over PCI-Express much like AMD does these days. But yeah, that would be a totally different direction for Nvidia as they always have required the SLI bridger hence I do not find that plausible (over PCI-e). The photos that surfaced certainly indicate the lack of SLI connectors.
Also interesting to see is a small PCBs, that's nearly Mini ITX format. The card seems to be powered by a 6-pin power connector which kind of confirms the rumored 120 Watt TDP. Anyhow, have a peek at the photos that leaked from purepc.pl Obviously this the SLI news remains unconfirmed.

Probably this if true, Nvidia forcing people to buy slightly more expensive cards so they get the performance. Making more money, coincidentally
Why would 1060 differ from 1070/1080? If the others need an SLI bridge GP106 will need it too.
Maybe it's gonna be cheap and efficient so Nvidia doesnt want 2 cheap cards surpass the more expensive 1080 by any means necessary.

Uhm yeah I can imagine, not that familiar with the differences between GloFo and TSMC. But does that have to do something with SLI compatability?
Willing to bet gp106 will be significantly smaller than Polaris 10. Remember glofo is around 10% smaller than tsmc; so 314mm gp104 is around 280mm in glofo terms. I believe nvidia will have higher margins on their midrange

Not mine, the leaked slide is from "that forbidden site in here...".
I know you can decipher which is.

True.The bars are HUGE. LOL
But...I can't say which PR BS slides is the clear winner: "AMD 51%...151%" VS "Nvidia impossible X Axis distortion".
