The biggest challenge getting SLI to work with two RTX 3090s was aligning the bridges. You really need to get the same card for ideal mating, because the SLI fingers are not standardized for placement and can be misaligned. Because of this, we ran a second test bench (no motherboard on that one) with PCIe risers, then a whole mess of mounting hardware. It took about 4-6 hours to get it all built and functional, but it worked well once assembled. Of course, we would never recommend this setup, but it was a "because we can" and "let's see what it does" approach. Also #ripjay

There also happens to be 30 dislikes. Coincidence? I think not
He has Nvidia's entire stock in one computer!
The fact that that SLI config utility still uses the Windows XP icons shows you how much they give a shit about SLI these days LOL.
Their control panel system hasn't received a visual update in a very long time. It's also pretty slow to load and save settings in my experience, and generally feels clunky when trying to change something as simple as Vsync or power settings. Per-game performance tuning is pretty slow going, because again it is pretty slow to get the game's profile loaded up. At least adding OpenGL applications as games (think like Minecraft Java edition) actually works properly with Nvidia cards. Of course, my most recent NVIDIA GPU is a 960M so maybe something has changed to improve this.
On an AMD system, you flip a switch and you don't have to click an "apply" button so you can wait while it applies your settings. It just works (with the exception of Minecraft Java Edition at the least. Radeon Chill at the very least definitely doesn''t work, and I haven't really tested the other settings). I don't know enough about the science to tell you whether this is more or less difficult to program and make stable. All I know is that it's easier on the eyes and feels more responsive.
Should see the x server config on nvidia's Linux drivers, they haven't changed that probably since they made it, will give you an idea how much they care about updating their config utility.
@@BBHexKey yep I work in Enterprise IT their vgpu config, driver and licensing server process is a fucking mess
@@PotatotheTroll It's exactly the same on a RTX 2070 so no changes there. I haven't had it crash though which I do hear occasionally happening on AMD (though I'm really not sure if that's just user error). Fun thing is this control panel from Nvidia sometimes also shows me old coverage sample modes for MSAA in older titles which aren't supported by my GPU and therefore render a black screen when opening the game 😆
@@markjacobs1086 AMD's adrenaline suite is godly. Modern and things just work for the most part outside of odd cards having driver/hardware level issues. With my RX480 and Radeon VII (swaps) even I personally havent run into any issues. Personally I wouldn't touch Chill becuase I pushing both cards so not sure if that issue is card specific. It is definitely a notorious thing that most "normal level" users arent keeping other drivers, software, and chipsets up-to-date which do sink their tentacles into gpu stability and the like.
Did have some 'stand in' Nvidia GPU when I had to rush this build into service 3 years ago. Some $40 gpu from best buy. That outdated, laggy, XP era control panel was just that. The same as our ancient Gateway family PC. Shameful, even with all their resources they can't be botherd to bring that into modern times, even on the pro side (just what?) while a company on the brink at the time made a point of fixing the Radeon Control Center among other things.
That DIY benchmark setup is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time... lol
I can't look away...

I hope to build something similar in the future.

@@ieatchickens In the defense of SLI, I generally was able to skip every other generation by just doubling up a card later. A pair of 1080's took me far and saved me much as an early 4k guy.
@Jerel Wayne Most definitely they would rather I had thrown the first 1080 in the trash and spent 1200 on a 2080Ti, but 600 for a second card worked more or less as well for my needs

“This was done because we could.”
Nuff said!
(Aperture Science) Nvidia , we do what we must because we can
A bridge is actually pretty handy in several 3D rendering scenarios. While you don't get a performance gain, you pool the memory of both cards (with NvLink, not the old SLI). That means you can render larger scenes. This is specifically significant for rendering volumes (clouds, smoke, fire etc.) that are often massive cache files which has to fit all in GPU memory. Hitting 24 gigs of VRAM on a production scene isn't too hard. Same goes for OpenCL accelerated simulations, which are also are getting very popular within 3D packages.
“Some of these games... we’ve even heard of!” Was a much needed belly laugh. Steve you’re my absolute favorite.
Definitely will get. I need to play Strange Brigade at a resolution and frame rate no monitor can support on a PC that looks like a disembowelled Wall-E.

The test bench is clearly screaming in agony.
Wait this was tested on a 10700K instead of a 16 PCIe lane system? This test in invalid already. Yes sli has its down falls, but it needs to be tested on x299 with more PCIe lanes for bandwidth reasons 16 lanes per card....
It's suffering is plain to see for all. It is begging for the end.
@Miss Jae I believe this comment chain began about the ram shackle assembly of the test bench, not the components themselves. At least that is what I was referring to. But you go ahead and act like you have brain cells to rub together despite not seeing the apparently clear to all but you context of the comments themselves. Fucking smooth brain.
@@Multimeter1 what
@@themidnightanimal1555 ?
This in a way pains me.
I remember vividly the SLI vs Crossfire days of yore.
Now...distant past.
Yeah, it's a shame because it is still very much needed technology. Even today with a 3080 I simply cannot max out my 1440p monitor 144hz aka getting average 144fps+ on many games. 4k obviously even worse.
If SLI was properly supported then a lot of people would be looking at SLI hungrily.
@@OhManTFE exactly why i’m still on 1080p. Idiots keep saying x card is “overkill” for 1080p. The fact is.. nothing is overkill if you want 144fps. Even more so if you want 240fps. 1080p 240fps requires better hardware than 4k 60.
That setup looks absolutely horrendous.
I love it.
We love crazy setups!
@@GamersNexus I do too ❤️ tripping looking at the wire jungle it's must be a a little too much work trying to disassemble that thing than setting it up .😁
Respect to GN for (almost?) never having RUclips ads disrupting their videos. Thank you, Steve.
I'm sad sli didn't become a thing, would give more interesting upgrade paths and could be a way around some of the physical limits computing will come up against.
It definitely was a thing: 8800/9800 GTX SLI Dream! :) And the scaling was great (for most games with support). I'm amazed Nvidia is not continuing to support and promote this feature. And I can guarantee it has something to do with money, because there was little incentive outside of customer upgrade convenience and inquiry when it launched. Very sad, and the original developers are probably very disappointed. The SLI concept is phenomenal.
@@playzfahdayz Evga 9800GTX+ in SLI those where the days 🤘🏻. It was very sad and the potential especially with nvlink would have been mind blowing.
I liked the idea of Crossfire. Four cards, all working together. Imagine what could be done with four 6950 XTs and a pair of Threadripper 5995WXs.
10:38 Finally a build that matches the piggy tail 12 pin adapter.
Ahh, finally a practical review that reflects my needs as a reasonable consumer. I'll take two, please!
now imagine this would still be possible with 3060s. They would probably outperform a 3090 for a fraction of the price. That's why Nvidia doesn't want it.

Great video Steve. Thank you for making it
I kinda want to see 8k benchmarks with this set up. "back in the day " 5+ years ago 4k had pretty stellar scaling when it worked. I am wondering if it's true now for 8k. But yeah mgpu is dead for normal consumers frustratingly enough.
Multiply the scaling factor by the single gpu result we published in our 8k video. Same effect.
@@GamersNexus Do you think you lost any performance from the PCIe lane limitation of Z490? I'd imagine you'd want X299 or TRX40 platform to get the most out of this setup if you were rich or crazy enough to get (2) 3090's.
The SLI Bridge this year is literally in the shape of an hour glass. Perhaps a nod towards SLIs end is near.....
Clever bastards that's for sure.
No its for the hours of wait to get a dam 30series card. More if you want to run sli
No it’s the symbol of the 30 series Founder Edition shape
Reminds me of the icon besides mouse courser whenever Windows XP use to become unresponsive or not responding. LOL
What's actually in an SLI bridge? Is it just a parallel ribbon cable with a couple of card edge connectors? If so then making a flexible SLI bridge could have saved you a lot of yak-shaving effort -- you know when you put down the razor and the yak looks at you over its shoulder and you say to yourself, "You know, this isn't what I started out to do this morning..."
@@robertsneddon731
Back in the early days of SLI they were actually flexible ribbons like the cables you see inside of laptops or phones. I don't know why they moved on to unflexible plastic bridges.
That setup is like some of my builds when I'm doing it with components that I just had laying around and didn't know if they worked or not so I'm doing the testing while I'm building.

That moment when your pc hogs power like an active electric kettle. Difference be your e-kettle only runs for 4 minutes when you need to heat your self some hot water... imagine the electricity bill running this unit for 8+ hours per day
you dont have to imagine, its easily calculated. I Paid 9cents per kilowatt-hour last month, so if I were to run a PC that was running full time using Steve's config in the video(~1000 watts), thats 1 kilowatt times 8 hours times 9 cents per kilowatt-hour = 72 cents a day or about ~22 bucks a month.
A kettle is more like 2-3kW, but yea, point still stands
Use it to replace your home's hot water heater, it's a twofer
Just in-line your Gpu to your hot water input line as a preburner and save money(somehow)

I just ordered a 3090 sli system (ordered for the first time from an SI because I can’t get my hands on GPUs otherwise). I’ve had SLI systems since the 3-way GTX 480 and it’s sad to see SLI support land where it has today. There are some older games I still play with SLI support (Destiny 2, WoW, GTAV) that is hoping to get at close to a locked 4K 120hz. That being said, this will probably be my last SLI system.
As always, great content and just because of this video on SLI I will join your Patreon. Thanks for all that you do in the industry.
@Clayton Jones, I’m also interested in 2* 3090’s but from what I’m reading here I don’t think it will work in older games. Just the ones listed on Nvidia’s website in this video. So unless Nvidia changes things you won’t be able to play most of the older games with SLI support that is currently working on 20 series and older GPU’s. I didn’t know this either until the 3080/90 launch and it ruined my plan of increasing my FPS to the max on newer and older games.
SpideyDiG I don’t think that’s what they are saying in this article. They’ve never broken SLI backwards before so I doubt that would be the case now. I’ll still roll the dice. I can always take one out of the loop and throw it in an eGPU or another system.
I actually think this is exactly what Nvidia did here is ruin backwards compatibility for 3080/90 series in most games won’t support SLI. So you will only be able to play a handful of games listed on Nvidia’s website. None of them I’m too interested in playing so this is a real let down for me and SLI support. I don’t want to have to go out and buy 2* 2080 Ti’s used when I had my mind set originally on a dual 3080/90.
Steve, really enjoyed this.
*In McCoy's voice* "It's dead, Steve."
Camera zooms in on Mirror!Jensun who raises an eyebrow and strokes his goatee. "The suffering is fascinating"
In Spock's voice : "It's SLI Steve, but not as we know it"
I honestly can't even tell if Steve is just trolling us all with that Franken-testbench setup. I am 80% sure he's just screwing with us at this point.
Considering the size of those things, yeah, there's gonna be some fitting issues. lmao~
Thank you for your hard work, dude! I love your videos and your honest reviews. No bias, just straight-to-the-point. Keep it up.
Oh did I miss something ?! Over 1 million subscribers .....
All the best and greetings from Germany
finally something that can kinda run MS Flight Simulator
Not a SLI title, sorry
500fps??
Lol can't even take that seriously,
BTW, really enjoyed that biking video!
Super sick man.
Nice shirt
Maybe at 1080p. Maybe 360hz gaming is worth SLIing 3090s at that rez
They hit 1000fps in doom eternal on liquid nitrogen
Can't wait for the quad gpu testing!
Steve: Haven't done any actual effort on it
Me: I see the frankenstein setup to make them work
No wonder why RTX 3090 and 3080 always out of stock, Steve bough them all.
would rather have Steve get 100 cards than scalpers get even 1 card.
Anu day!
This Sucker Is Electrical, But I need a Nuclea Reaction to Generate the 1.21 Gigawatts.
The LiByAnS!
Test bench is clean af
12:00 Really appreciate the blue countdown bars!
I'd like to see this setup with Can it Run Crysis mode in the Crysis Remaster.
It might actually get to stable 60 FPS :))
@@michalthekind God dammit, not again!
@@michalthekind Yeah, I saw it. Quite dissapointing. And the missing assets / downgrades too.
3090 Dual SLI YOLO Edition^^
my 1st sli setup was 7800gt's on amd 939 motherboard we have come so far in my adult lifetime its amazing.
THANK YOU!!! For including 1080Ti results. Still wondering @1440p if there is any need to upgrade. But still running a 7700k @5.2. Probably have to do an entire system upgrade at this point...
Memes aside, Strange Brigade does look like it's well-liked. Just not popular in terms of player count.
That's a cool cabinet I've ever seen ....👍
This NEEDS to be featured in one (all) of those "Reacting to PC setups" videos.
