Only GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti to support NVLink - No Multi GPU for 2070?

Only GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti to support NVLink - No Multi GPU for 2070?

Right, you probably have read my news item yesterday about the GeForce RTX announcement, have might have noticed that I only have written down the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti being NVLINK compatible?  Well, it is exactly that, as the 2070 cards do not show or reveal either an SLI or NVLink connector.

So in the same news item, I mentioned a thing or two about NVLINK, it is the new and very fast (100 Gb/sec) interconnects allowing to link up the graphics card. The details are a little scarce as to what and how this is going to work like for the new 2080 cards, we'll learn more about that in the days to come.

 

 

The interesting thing here is that the RTX 2070 does not show any support for NVLink, neither does it have an SLI finger. Now it could be that NVIDIA is scrapping multi-GPU support for the series 2070 and below, however, they could also offer some sort of rudimentary support linked over the PCIe bus.

 

 

As to what the reasoning is, is not clear, the GeForce RTX 2070 in Multi-GPU mode could be canalizing the 2080 (Ti) in performance. However, it could still be a different GPU as well (TU105/TU106).

Sounds fine to me. SLI/CFX are long dead. the only situation when it is acceptable is for the top end cards where if you need more performance, you have nothing to upgrade to basically.
Finally its dead.

No SLI in the 1060 and now they move up a line to the 2070. Makes me wonder if the 1080TI i really just a titan and they are playing musical chairs with the card names. Usually the TI never comes out at launch.

Honestly, I'd be more interested in how that new NVlink really behaves than what card is compatible.

Lol, they know 2x 2070 would kick 2080ti ass and be cheaper doing it.. 12tflop tensor perf vs 10 by 2080ti says it all..
