    If Nvidia really want this multi gpu for gaming thing to work, they need to come up with a communication protocol between cards that gaming companies don’t have to optimize their games for. Essentially (which is what it seems NVlink does), they need a protocol that games see as one massive card, instead of 2 joined ones.
    Otherwise, multigpu setups will never really take off the way they seem to be expecting because it will always be a trade off between stability, performance, and compatibility.

      Most games don't even implement DX12/Vulcan due to extra costs that don't really bring much to a majority of your player base. Just not worth.
      Unity is/has implemented Vulcan but it takes time to proliferate, games take years to develop.

      When I say "coding" I am not talking something long or time consuming as sli or xfire profile. I was of the understanding that Mgpu is an instruction set within dx12/vulkan api. Set a few parameters, then code "enable Mgpu". And yes it would be worth it if you can place smaller gpus on single die. If AMD were to make the APU in the new xbox/PS a dual navi via infinity fabric, dx12/vulkan api implementation would become prolific. Thats one console port I would look forward too.

      orly ... back in the day a argument like that would be mocked ... if you could buy a two cheap cards and with sli get the same performance as the highest card for 8x less then you would go Sli ... and that was the point of sli , so people bought two cheap XXX60 cards ... till Nvidia got greedy and went Intel retarded ways of locking things to specific cards in a set series ... first by locking sli only to the XX70 cards ... then by skyrocketing prices for GPUs , blaming miners for that price influx (BS my ass)... Nvida wanted to make PC gaming on Highest settings a privilege ... a thing that a normal 11h working common folk would not be able to afford ... pushing more people into the console territory ... When a common joe, goes to a store and sees a price 700$ to 1000$ for a card (not including other parts you need for a PC) to be able to game in 4K ... and then sees for $499 consoles that can go to 4K and have the same graphics ... guess what he will pick ...

      The amount of people going SLI nowadays is becoming less and less. A few years ago you'd do what hfric mentioned, but with devs toning down SLI support, its just usually not worth the cost for most people. Not to mention all the weird stuff that comes with SLI and Crossfire.

    • @arekb5951
      @arekb5951 6 років тому +4

      But who makes multi GPU setup using xx70 or lower. You either make it from top of the top or don't make it at all. More powerful single GPU will give you steady frametimes even though average fps may be slightly lower compared to mGPU setup made from less powerful cards. Not to mention that SLI can be utilised fully only on HEDT platform, since regular i7s and ryzens don't support enough PCI express lines, so you'll be always limited to x16 on one card and x8 on another. You really have to go balls deep with multi GPU to use it's full potential.

    • @nessotrin
      @nessotrin 6 років тому

      Hard to do, the latency between the cards would be a mess to manage. It'll probably be worse than a single GPU, except at extreme resolutions (lots of time doing the same thing, which means less time lost dividing and sending the commands)

    • @suiton20
      @suiton20 6 років тому +4

      I don’t think sli/nvlink or crossfire is way. It still heavily relies on running on master and slave turning it into a single gpu. It’s better to get the drivers to run in parallel improving the code in the dx12 multi gpu feature so instead both GPUs would run like how multi socket cpus run. Maybe amd will pull of an infinity fabric on their upcoming GPUs and fix a majority of latency issues on multi gpu setups

Octane 4 will have a free tier that you can use for 2 GPUs and is used very often for 3D renders. I'm sure there's a pro viz audience that's interested in that numbers.

    I think restricting the capability on RTX/GTX series cards NVlink capability to be a sli connection is a terrible decision, SLI and Crossfire have many issues when it comes to using them for gamming and NVlink really showed to be a solution on how the cards talk to each other effeciently. They are opening the door for AMD or even Intel here pretty soon to create a NVlink type solution for thier upcomming cards on the consumer and professional level to make it easier for developers to program fro or even make thier driver sets able to limit how much a game dev has to program for multi gpu systems. Right now for SLI and Crossfire are not price effecient as bying a second card and incorperating it will net you at best 50% additonal performance at best, and at worst make thinsg run worse then running a single card. The bandwidth and latancy capabilities of NVlink are a absolute game changer to multi card systems and Nvidia is holding it back on the non professional products.

      @hzuiel 5 років тому +10

      Don't really get it either, nvidia makes more money if you buy twice as many cards, but there is less incentive to do that with poor sli performance. With each generation nvidia pushes sli or nvlink or whatever to the upper end of their product line. I feel like they would make a shitload if say they had full fledged nvlink on their cards, and they sold rtx 2070 dual kits with the bridge, for $850 or $900, they couldn't keep them on the shelves they would sell so fast. Of course then it woudl challenge their flagship products for sales. I dunno, maybe after doing the math they realized that from a business standpoint, sli is bad for sales of their higher tier cards and that is less profitable, i'm not sure. I'm inclined to believe the profit margin on the higher end cars is higher, so maybe it doesn't make sense to challenge that. Woudl be interesting to see a full write up on the business side of sli vs single card sales.

    • @hzuiel
      @hzuiel 5 років тому +2

      @Lucy In Disguise My thought is that consumers would upgrade by adding a second video card. Each generation of card is usually not that much incentive to upgrade. If i just spend $400 on a graphics card, i'm not likely to turn around and buy another $400 graphics card a year later when the next gen card comes out. However a year later I might choose to purchase another one of the cards i already have to up my performance if it truly translated into increased performance. The modular nature of pc hardware and ability to upgrade is one strong selling point vs consoles. So it doesn't make sense when companies kill upgrade paths like making a new socket every generation of cpu, or taking away sli, or giving the consumer market a watered down version of dual graphics card performance. Margins are high on older graphics cards because they're not investing any new R&D into them, and usually the manufacturing processes get cheaper the longer they go. They could sell a 2 or 3 year old card potentially for cheaper than it was new, and still make a larger profit. Users would be drawn to newer cards by features rather than sheer number crunching capability.

      @HimKioo You misread. I do not mine, or otherwise participate in the crypto market. I'm a software developer, so yes, I do produce things and (subjectively) contribute to pushing tech forward. That's how I justified the cost ($800, at the time) of my 1080ti. It paid for itself rather quickly without having to worry about inflating hash rates or the market imploding.
      Remember, Linus uses games to benchmark performance for basically two reasons, games are a pretty good consumer GPU benchmark, and that's what Mos of his audience cares about. But gaming benchmarks can be applied to more than playing games. These kinds of videos don't highlight the gv100's gaming performance, gaming just puts these performance differences in a context (most of) his audience understands/cares about.
      It's not a recommendation to run out and blow $30k on hardware to play fortnite. And it's not saying a 4k/ultra setup is the best way to play your stuff.

      Doesn't seem like Apple is even interested in Nvidia Cards anymore, figures since you can make a lot more money by investing less money with AMD's cheaper cards.
      If they do, be prepared to pay 3x (or more) the price the hardware is worth. Not even kidding. My colleague bought an apple laptop with lower specs then my windows laptop for €3500 while mine cost me €1000.
      To put that into stark contrast: my recently bought high end new PC parts only desktop cost me €2600, going well over what Apple offers for desktops for a fraction of the price.

They are also open, so you can modify parameters to have a more intensive problem if the times are too quick. On Linux, the samples are in /usr/cuida/samples, and have a makefile to compile everything. I don't remember the windows path, but they come with a VS file that does the same thing.

    I've been building & fixing PCs for years, and one thing that's always annoyed the crap out of me is how seemingly fragile video cards are. Not a single component has failed on me more times than video cards and, other than a scant few of them, it can't be explained as to why. I've had cards die when I remove them, when I install them, when I've moved them around, when I've cleaned them, or they arrive DOA, etc etc. Once, had a video card sitting on a table as I was using a different PC and I just spun the fan with my finger as a distraction. The fan died. Then there was the XFX GeForce 7950 AGP card with the faulty cooling shroud that prevented the fan from spinning and cooked the card (which lead to the worst customer service I've ever experienced, thanks XFX!). The latest death was a Radeon HD 7970. It was running perfectly and I shut down my PC for the night, only to wake up the next day & my PC wouldn't even POST. After some diagnosing, the card was dead. No reason, no explanation, not even a hint that there might be an impending problem, just... dead.
    So when I see Linus handling a video card like it's a cheap toy or waving it around like a conductor's baton, I can't help but yell 'STOP DOING THAT!!!' at the video involuntarily. I keep wanting to reach through my screen and slap Linus every time he starts flailing about with a multi-thousand $$$ card in his hand. It's probably akin to a big-time car enthusiast seeing a 16-year old driving around in a Ferrari F50, you just have this urge to yank the punk out of the car and then pimp-slap the parents for handing them the keys in the first place.
    Then again, spending ~$500 on just one card is a huge investment for me, while Linus gets shipped cards that cost 10 times that probably every other day. Also, I have a spare 7970 and I just got a 7990 super cheap off Ebay last week, so no big deal. But still! Watching you flail about with those cards to me is like watching a death-defying circus act.
    Oh yeah, don't you have a bad habit of dropping things, too? :)

      Different architectures, better drivers. Plus AMD isn't trying to force everyone to buy professional cards for multi-gpu rendering. NVIDIA's professional are really expensive(4 digits), while their GPU's power is comparable with an 1080 ti with a better memory bandwidth.. If an regular card could have the same multi-gpu performance as a professional card, no one would waste their money on the latter. I mean.. what would you preffer for the same amount of money, one GP100 16GB or 6 x 1080 TI in NVLink SLI with a total of 66GB of memory?

    We also built a system with two 1080Ti SLI , in some projects - the increase is directly noticeable , in some minimal , somewhere - the second card is idle ( in most cases ) . But rarely seen less than 60 fps in 4K , where the restriction has been lifted - all 72 (the monitor is capable of producing ) , and so the SLI is more for enthusiasts than for life , here is our oven : ua-cam.com/video/jHMNPI2kjh8/v-deo.html
    Config :
    i7 7700K to 4.5 GHz
    Asus z270ws
    Corsair Dominator Platinum 32 Gb 3200 Mhz ( 4 sticks of 8 )
    2 EVGA 1080Ti SLI

    • @darkstone300
      @darkstone300 5 років тому +5

      2 sli rtx 2060s are even worse than a single rtx 2060 because the card doesn't support nv link, and it won't work together

    • @TheGauges420
      @TheGauges420 5 років тому +1

      Yeah not even 2 RTX 2080 can beat a 2080 usually, just due to the way it's taken advantage of. Devs haven't fully utilized multi-gpus for gaming, and for many other things, you'd be far better just running a single card, like a 2080ti or something if you're strictly worried about most performance. I mean yeah 2 2060s is still cheaper than a 2080, but if you're willing to try and make 2 2060s work, just spend the extra and get the better card from the start.
