Preliminary review: GeForce GTX 1080 2-way SLI
We look at the GeForce GTX 1080 setup in SLI mode. In this article we'll zoom in at Ultra HD gaming performance as that's where the cookie seems to crumble. Driver issues prohibit us to test all game titles, so this will be a preliminary article until Nvidia outs a proper working SLI driver. Join us in this review where we'll once again look at everything.

Looks pretty beastly @ 4k, rather overkill in lower resolutions of course.

Sorry but unimpressed by Dx11 benchmarks.Maybe in Dx12 and AIB's cards get better results.

Are you guys sure that 368.25 doesn't have full SLI support for certain games? The article listed The Witcher 3, among other games that doesn't have proper SLI support, although I've been playing it just fine with 2x FE 1080's and noticed a huge boost in performance when trying in SLI compared to single-gpu mode.
If the current driver truly doesn't have full SLI support, then will I see a performance boost in a lot of my games? Now that I come to think of it, GTAV does have some micro-stuttering when I'm running in SLI mode.

Still some way of matching the 38,000 GPU score I can get in 3d mark with my 3 cards.
My Tis get 40k something, dont recall exact number so 1080s should easily be scoring much higher

was thinking of 2 x 1080 SLI. But maybe wait for 1070 SLI. Or even better 1 1080Tt. But I don't know if I cant wait 10 months for 1080Ti to come out. Just want to game at 4K!

I'm curious to see the future revisions with driver updates. I received a second 1080 from Amazon on Friday. It's still in the carton, as it's looking like SLI probably isn't the way to go at 3440x1440x100 (ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q) - to say nothing of waiting for the HB SLI bridges to become available. On one 1080, overclocked to the Afterburner article recommendations, The Witcher 3 runs around 60fps on Ultra with Hairworks off. I recently upgraded from 690 SLI and a surround array of 3 Dell U2412Ms. For driver/optimization issues, I usually gamed at 1920x1200x59 with the former GPUs, so I probably shouldn't fret about SLI this time, for the performance scaling detailed thus far.

a pair titan x at 1500 do 42+k gpu score in 3dfs so they have a lot to do

Would be nice if you included 980 Ti SLi scores to compare....

Hey Hilbert,
Wonderful preliminary review. Can you do a test with old SLI bridges to see if it makes any difference? So a 1 finger SLI bridge vs 2-1 finger bridges vs the new bridge...

I'm much looking forward to the final version of the SLI becnhmark
Lovely to have 4K benchmarks and also FCAT 
I'd like to request the chance to see also a 4K FCAT test - to see if the higher resolution (and thus more stress on card-communication) impact performance and might cause microstutter?
And finaly - I cant seem to find info on AA - is it turned off for 4K or on? and what about gameworks? (sorry if its mentioned somewhere - I could not find it)

Man, that performance. It's really nice at 4k and I'd say that only people with 4k should invest in this really. For everyone else, 1x GTX1080 is enough.

performance is lacking imho. its amazing how relevant my almost 3 year old 290x tri-crossfire system is. 290x still kicking butt.

I'm still eagerly waiting for an update of the review - the 1070 seem to have a much more complete review when is it getting updated?
