About SLI and Quad SLI @ B6

[Stublerone]

Again a sli thread? Hmmm, everything has ben said in other posts.

Thanks nonoptimalrobot for giving such information. Perhaps the sli users know, why it is still not working and will never work sufficiently in my opinion. There are simply too much hurdles and simply no good reason to do it.

Multi gpu can only behave good, if all buses, pipelines and all communication between all the components improve massively. You need a revolution in tech design to provide a sufficient way to use multi gpu.

Today, it is simply not possible and everyone, who bought sli should be aware of the fact, that this will never run. In some games, it shows some performance increase but others do not! Sli=crap, the general idea behind it=good, but with current hardware configurations not working!

I do not understand anybody, who tells his friends to buy an additional card to upgrade the system. It is simply not a good advice. And 2 x gtx 590 = even more problems. And do not talk about 2 x 3 gb = 6 gb -> this is not true. It is 2 x 3gb = 3 gb .... Technically not exactly correct as far as i know, but similar to that.

Worse: it is 4 x 1.5 gb as each GPU needs its own VRAM.

Sorry for misunderstanding and when u think of dual gpu cards: 4 x 1,5 gb = 1,5 gb effectively!!!! So, it is even worse from what i know. It is the same as doing sli with 2 sli. Oh my god how bad. Correct me, but dual gpu is sli with better bus values, so it is less problems than normal sli, but still not using fullram.

So you throw with houses on ants!! correct me if i am wrong with the dual gpu thing, but it is never 6 gig in any sli config. The card should have 6gb each to get this 6 gb. Never sum up the 2 cards. It is simply wrong!!!!!
