Not the rest of the 1000 series, >1070? How is that even...?

Now it depends on how many commands it can schedule at once. AMD is also improving there version, so Nvidia still may be behind in Asnyc. Although it really only adds 5-10% performance currently if it continues that way it wouldn't be a massive deal.

It's about time they supported it. Looking forward to AMD vs nVidia for Ashes of singularity.


Where'd that SLI bridge come from o-o

It's a new "SLI HB" bridge specifically for GTX1080s that doubles bandwidth for two-card SLI. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080

sensible title. Other sites are just assuming they do support it. Its more accurate to say they claim they do because clearly we can't take their word on these things anymore
