    The SLI is not working because you put the P106 in the top slot before the 1060. The way it works is, it will always use the first card detected to get the video output. In this case that is the P106, and it has no outs. Swap the cards and it will work.
    Similar things happens when you use dual GPU cards. If the output of the monitor is the top card's slave GPU (second one in the row) when enabling SLI it will be 3 way SLI and not Quad SLI. Swapping the video output to the master GPU makes it work as proper Quad SLI. Learned that the hard way after an hour of troubleshooting and reinstalling the drivers, while it just needed a single cable to be plugged in another out.

    Hey guys, two things that could work to flash the actual bios of the P106 to the one of a 1060:
    1. Locate the physical bios chip and try to flash the bios with an EEPROM flasher.
    2. Desolder the bios chip of a 1060 and solder it onto the P106 board. I know this probably won't make sense by cost but it would be a cool proof of concept.

    A very likely reason as to why SLI was disabled in software was because as you said: running 1 better GPU is more cost effective than running 2 GPUs in SLI, so NVIDIA wants to stop supporting it. However, randomly not supporting something _sometimes_ leads to backlash to people who depend on the thing you're no longer supporting. Disabling it at the driver level means if people complain, they can turn it back on. If no-one complains, they can save money transistors compute and dev time in the _next_ generation by no longer supporting SLI at all.

      These mining cards don't make sense as they are.
      They would make sense if they were geared for low power and high hashrate (specialized chip with all non essential silicon like shader units disabled or replaced with extra CUDA cores), use a PCIE 1x connector and a compact, thermally efficient form factor, and be LOTS cheaper than the gaming cards.
      You don't need the high PCIE bandwidth for mining (not a whole lot of memory to transfer to or from the card), and any graphics-only related silicon areas are just using power and reducing efficiency. Just the same, you don't need a whole bunch of memory for mining, and since memory speed is really not important at all for mining, that hypothetical chip could support running fast DDR4 at lower clock than GDDR5/6 or HBM, possibly in multiple channel banks, and save even more power. Put 4GB of fast DDR4 using 4 memory channels on those mining cards... The most memory intensive algos I have seen will use at max 2.8GB of VRAM, while a majority will use less than a gigabyte.
      Instead of repurposing their existing general purpose silicon, they should add one chip per GPU generation constructed specifically for mining that's objectively better for mining than any other available graphics card in its generation, for both hashrates and power usage, be useless for gaming (or allow them to be used as a CUDA card to supplement a regular GPU so they have at least some low resale value), and have lower markup geared towards volume sales and be *significantly* cheaper than normal graphics GPU. The price difference just isn't enough to justify buying them instead of regular cards right now. It would be a great way for nVidia to impede in AMD's lower price bracket and stick it to them. Plus this same card would probably be used a lot in smaller compute clusters for university supercomputers and such...

    Interesting to see, that SLI scaling on GTX 1060s, which oficially don't even support SLI, is better than with dual GTX1080s, which do....

    • @dragoonsunite
      @dragoonsunite 5 лет назад +16

      Mostly an issue of CPU bottlenecks not an issue of GPU inability to properly scale. Scalability is directly effected by the rest of the systems ability to keep up with your improved performance as well.
      The only way to ensure full scalability comparisons is to have a system that is horrifically more well endowed in all other areas than the particular element you're measuring. In this case I don't know exactly what his bench is, but just because its LTT, I'm guessing his RAM, CPU, Mobo, SSD, and everything else are pretty enthusiast level, making the 1060 scale perfectly.
      The only possible way I could see to ensure a good scalability with a 1080, 1080ti, 2080, 2080ti, or any Titan, is if you were running an extreme overclock on the latest CPU, delidded, lapped, and already having won the silicon lottery, with the best overclocked memory, perfectly tuned, with some insane chiller based sub-ambient cooling, and perhaps even a hard-drive to pump data in real time off the disk as fast as the memory, CPU, and GPU can eat it (IE an Intel 905p PCIe SSD or some such).
      It may very well be that the high end GPU's scale just fine, but the hardware to 'realistically' test that scalability will probably not be out until after those GPU's are no longer top of the line, and relatively obsolete.
      Since they use the same general architecture as their lower end counterparts, it might be safe to assume the scalability of the 1080 is roughly the same as the scalability of the 1060 when it has enough hardware headroom.

      Naw. I mean, if they didn't after the last Titan video, they won't now. At any rate, this isn't going to make a noticable negative different in sales (most people are either too lazy for this or want the latest and greatest, and most people who want a midrange card without even the chance of RTX would have been AMD customers anyway). Also, remember that these cards are substantially used. They may not last very well, and they are a lot more likely to let out their magic smoke if abused. Then again, they survived the stress once, so that's harder to pin down.
      What it does tell us is that Nvidia, who is trying hard to charge edge pushing costs for their hardware, can definitely afford to charge less and manage to manufacture more, and they may find that they can't afford to keep charging their current prices at all. Not because of this, but just because a cool grand is a LOT to pay for a consumer GPU, even an excellent one.

There was a website, which I can't remember now and which is likely gone by now anyway, that would post modified .inf files and, if I recall correctly, even full driver installers with the modified .inf in them. The drivers usually worked just fine and it was a godsend for those of use who wanted the best performance in the latest games.

      @@Carewolf The problem with that line of thinking is that resolution is exponential, meaning that 4k has 4 times the pixels of 1080p, even though the resolution is only twice as high in each direction. It would be possible, but at roughly 15-20Hz, assuming there are no other limitations

      @@NotDrurin Quadratic, not exponential. But that is the data bandwidth. On the old analog CRT and VGA standards what counted was the lines per seconds they could make, not pixels per seconds.

      So a given monitor (or videocard) would have an advertised lines per second, and you would just divide that with the vertical resolution to figure out what the max refresh rate for that resolution would be.

    Never let Anthony go. Never ever fire him. He is clearly the most genius in your team.

    If the voice actor for Spongebob ever dies, they should hire Linux to take his place.

    Soooo,... How much faster rendering do these cards provide for programs that don't use SLI, but just a bunch of Cuda cores, like DaVinci Resolve ??? Can we load up a PC with two of the P106's and a single GTX1060?

    What about SLI with 2 mining cards with output though onboard graphics?
