Not filthy enough if you ask me.. was nearly finished before his post ended. Just a little bit more next time should do it..

I'll be sure to add some Voronoi cell shading next time for that extra sparkly finish. :lol:

Combined with all of the dirty talk that just managed to see me over the finish line.
I hope it drops even more, They deserve it for their sheer greed, Charging 60%+ more for a standard gen on gen performance increase is wrong.

I...I...I need a tissue !

I must admit that I'm quite positively surprised.
The performance is quite stunning. I just have to now figure out if it's worth upgrading from 2x 1080 GTX (with poor SLI support) to a single 2080 Ti which is not as fast, but not far behind...
I figure, due to the poor SLI support in so many games a 2080 Ti would be nicer gaming wise @ 4k...
I guess it would depend how much I could get for the "old" cards. It sucks that nVidia changed the damn SLI bridge again...

They had no choice in changing to NVLink, because SLi could not put enough bandwidth through the cables. I watched a vid about it yesterday, and saw how people used to mod the old bridges to give more bandwidth.

Well they had the old bridges and the they added the HB-Bridge.... for one reason or another AMD can do so without those stupid bridges anyhow.

It was a bad mistake by AMD as it does cause problems not having bridges.
I have seen a number of reviews of mGPU AMD cards where the performance has tanked and the reviewer did not realise it was because of the lack of a bridge.
I am pretty sure if AMD are in the position one day to compete with NVidias high end cards they will also be using bridges again.

False. There's more bandwidth across PCI lanes than the old bridge connection
Combined with all of the dirty talk that just managed to see me over the finish line.
That's nothing..
If you wanted to make us all smile and cheer, you should have posted their value over 5 days
19th September was not a pretty day for them <3
But if thats true, why hasn't Nvidia or AMD gone this route long ago? There must be more to it than that?

You obviously have not used quadfire that much.
It is not a case of which has more bandwidth, it is more a case of every little helps.
With the latest NVLink there has been a big increase in bandwidth available when using 2080 Ti cards, it is there for a reason.

Quick Update here.
Tom has updated the graphs for both the RTX 2080/2080 Ti reviews to include GTX 1080 Ti data.
Due to time restrictions, we were unable to add every modern graphics card to the new games on our GPU test suite. Tinytomlogan has made a short Facebook video that goes into a little more detail.

Um.. you do realize AMD has used this since like 2014 right?
Doesn't matter if I did or did not. The fact is I'm not wrong. That doesn't mean it's not the best solution going forward. However only Nvidias top end cards would run into this problem of not enough bandwidth. Hence them using NVlink. Before it did not matter. Scaling was much more likely to do with drivers and software rather than the PCI bandwidth.
JayzTwoCents has some footage up regarding SLI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbvFb0IHTg0

Any chance of a summary? I don't want to be mean, but I kind of find Jay a bit irritating these days.
He just run a few benchmarks and posts the numbers without talking too much about the details:
- In Ghost Recon Wildlands @4K, he got 66fps on a single card and 105fps on his SLI setup (~59% more fps): https://youtu.be/cbvFb0IHTg0?t=382
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider @4K (highest settings), he got 124fps in SLI, which is (as he mentioned) more than double the fps from his single card setup, but that's probably because his SLI setup was slightly overclocked as well. Impressive nonetheless: https://youtu.be/cbvFb0IHTg0?t=396
- Rise of the Tomb Raider 80fps vs. 145fps in SLI (~81% more fps): https://youtu.be/cbvFb0IHTg0?t=434
Then there were a few 3DMark runs where he tries to break some records with fancy air cooling. ^_^
System was based on an Intel i9-7980XE btw.
