Water Cool SLI 970s or wait for possible 1080ti and water cool that?

Jayhawker32 · May 10, 2016

Pretty much all in the title. I guess in the long run water cooling a single card will be cheaper and easier than SLI. Just looking for advice.

Thanks

your probably going to be a good 6+ months minimum out before we even hear news about a possible 1080ti so i would watercool your 2 970's now or leave them air.

A single GTX 1080 is said to be faster than SLI GTX 980. Based on that information, No way Jose to SLI 970.

Apart from looking cool water cooling isn't going to do much for performance, you might squeeze an extra few % out of your cards. Now it looks like a single 1070 will outperform a 980Ti I'm not sure I'd invest anything in 970's

no. this is not necessarily true. just because Nvidia claims that by showing you a graph doesnt mean that its true!

ok well based on nvidia's bombastic information...its not necessarily true

I agree take their claims as best case scenario but it would be a pretty stupid move if no one could match their claims in the real world

they will be able to match their claims no doubt. BUT...they didn't tell you in which scenarios such claims are true...

they can state this...then a month later when the real world benchmarks start rolling in they can say "well we were talking about GPGPU not gaming performance." or they could say "oh we were talking about performance-per-watt, not gaming performance" and that very well may be true. the graph in their presentation was performance per watt....if you looked at it carefully. and i have no doubt that pascal will whip maxwell in performance-per-watt. if it didn't that would be a joke...

I do agree, welcome to modern advertising, even my shampoo is advertised with statistics
