We grab two MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X editions graphics cards and set them up in 2-way multi-GPU SLI. We'll obviously focus at Ultra HD performance as well as a micro stuttering analysis with the help of FCAT. Join us in this review where we'll once again look at everything.

That's quite a selection of relatively untaxing games you have benchmarked.

Some more demanding games worthy of these cards would have been great, Rise of the Tomb Raider etc.

Especially seeing as the old 2013 Tomb Raider was part of your regular benchmark suite.

As usual, great scaling on GTAV/frostbyte engine games, not so much on the rest. Maybe drivers will improve this, maybe not, but to have the latest DX12 games not support even 2way GPUs is quite a disappointing...

Rise of the Tomb raider doesn't support SLI.

You need to test it against other SLI or CF configurations, especially 980 SLI and 390x CF.
2x 390x (700Euro) vs 2x 1070 (1000Euro), that's more than 40% difference and I doubt that 1070's are 40% faster.

This thread is not at all about RX 480 so please stay on-topic. I'll indulge one reply though, AMD decided not to include a DVI connector (needed) on that card, FCAT is impossible until an AIB partner supplies one with a DVI connector.

Didn't know that FCAT needed a DVI connector, thnx for the info Hilbert
