1080 Ti SLI - How Does It Scale?

2017-03-13
all right Tech fans youtubers and video heads for around the world it's time for SLI with the GTX 1080p I that's right Ryan's even now this time we've taken 25 games and we've tested them all to see how SLI scales with this a mass amount of games I want tell you guys we're off the bat that the scaling is pretty good in the games but however how well it skills and that's a little bit iffy although 14 of the games scale not all didn't scale very well we'll talk a little bit about that later on the video but with that said let's first check out our test system if you guys follow the channel you guys know this test system we've used it in quite a few videos too I think I like the last six months we're going to ready to change it up to something different but for now this is the same test system that we've been using hopefully though you fans out there find this a well balanced of them that's not too expensive or not too cheap to be right in that fine pocket for gamers out there I figured a system that was right in the middle of the road was the best way to go we're still using Nvidia driver three seven eight point seven eight we're also using the latest edition of Windows 10 it's patched all the drivers everything on the system are the latest and greatest you can get your hands on so with that said it's time to rock you guys can see that the way the card scales is very kind of erratic there are some games that score very very well others that score kind of poorly now Tomb Raider if you're a fan of that game you guys can see that that game kicks serious ass you get amazing frame rates when you left so a with this game there are also a few other games in DirectX 12 that do this as well out of the nine games that we tested in DirectX 12 three of them scaled very very well now a lot of you guys are wondering out there well hey I'll recommend how hot was this running well no higher than eighty five Celsius under full load and what's really interesting I think is that the back panel is removable we have a shot of us taking the back panel off here from other video and we also have a shot of it running in the system this actually helps the cards run a lot cooler and why we're probably seeing actually cooler scores in SL lives and we were the single card performance alright folks so there you have it the goodness of SLI with the GTX 1080p I once it connects your rhymes right on alright so here's my opinion about this honestly a lot of people out there don't have the $700 to chuckle out for one card much less another $700 to chuckle out for a second card and with the way that the games perform being kind of erratic unless you're a person you've seen our scores and you know that your card is going to kick ass in the game that you want to play I think I'd save my money and stick to one card now there are some exceptions if you're a person out there who's just a hardcore gamer you've got a ton of games in your library you know that you're going to have better results because you guys can see 14 out of 25 scale so it's better than half so if you have a math library known so you have a hundred games well then you can buy be sure they're probably 60 those games are going to scale well so if you're that person then yeah SLI is definitely for you if you don't have the cash I know it's a bummer but for you that'd be worth it but for most people out there getting the absolute best 1080i you can get your hands on getting a nice little overclock one that's your best bet especially if you're not going to be having a ton of games unless like I said you know that game is going to work like if you're a Tomb Raider fan and you want to rate or just totally kick ass and everybody on your block then damn skip Skippy you want to get yourself in SLI split up into an ATI but if you only got like four or five games and out of those four or five games only one of those games really scales for you then why waste your money at that point it becomes like I said many times it's dick wagon contest so you can sell people yeah you know I've got two cards so down to comets when they look like a smarmy little you can go yeah I've got two cards but I'm letting that at all I'm into it's best for you guys so my bottom line is this if you have a mass amount of games you've got the money as like good only few games not a lot of money yes so like bad you can tell me what video that comes from that I just did I'll send you something nice in the mail just coming with video that isn't what band I'm talking about when I do that thing I'm Network you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow hope you guys enjoyed the video download like button we'll have links where you get more information about this card also a special shout out to my
