GTX 1060 SLI - Anyone try it yet?

FatheredPuma81 · Jul 30, 2016

Was wondering if anyone tried to SLI the GTX 1060 yet.
Would be interesting to see how it would scale through the PCIE slot.

By try I mean how someone actually tried and got the GTX 750 Ti to SLI.

Seems an odd idea as a single 1070 would be cheaper and probably outperform.

Interesting idea though.

Scroll down to the SLI graph: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-pascal,4679.html

SLI on the GTX 1060 is not supported in hardware. Multiadapter isn't the same as SLI.

Theoretically, just for fun, with 2 GTX 1060s in SLI, you'd have...

-2560 shader cores, so equal shading performance to the GTX 1080.

-more ROPs than the GTX 1080 (96 vs 64). However, this would most likely overload the 192-bit bus.

-smaller bus width than the GTX 1080 (192 bits vs 256 bits). Memory bandwidth does not scale in SLI.

In practice, SLI does not enable a 100% performance increase over a single card, so it would certainly be slower than a GTX 1080.

That was with Ashes though. That works by bypassing SLI and just treating the available GPUs as a single pool.

'true' SLI is not available to the 1060. This may be the last or next to last generation that offers SLI at all.

To be clear, I was not referring to that graph as a proper example of SLI, just the closest most people can get to it.

Gam3r01 :

Yea but that's through DX12 and only applies to that 1 game and doesn't work for other games that support SLI/Crossfire.

KoopaCreeper :

Well I don't think it has a name (Unless it's "Different SLI) but I was wondering if someone got 2 GTX 1060s to run together in games that aren't DX12 or if anyone has actually tried.
