Wait until the drivers fully support SLI and I'm sure those comparisons will appear, not much point until then
Naw I get that my point is just more like, if the drivers aren't supporting pascal well, why not show some previous generations numbers with the same drivers just to highlight to what degree it affects things? Then you have a before and after so to speak for both generations rather than just omitting the previous.

Sure purchase me one and I'd be happy to do that for you 🤓
hehe how about forcing that custom resolution? I think the driver panel will let you do that

early 368.25 driver does not seem to support SLI for the majority of games
Huh? I got SLI scaling on about everything tested on 100 games. For some I forced it through custom bits, with inspector, but most I them work without a hassle. Tested on 5K mainly though. I use a 3-way led SLI bridge from Evga till the hb one arrives. But I'm not sure how much it's gone bring.

Looks pretty beastly @ 4k, rather overkill in lower resolutions of course.

Still some way of matching the 38,000 GPU score I can get in 3d mark with my 3 cards.
My Tis get 40k something, dont recall exact number so 1080s should easily be scoring much higher

a pair titan x at 1500 do 42+k gpu score in 3dfs so they have a lot to do

I'm much looking forward to the final version of the SLI becnhmark 😀 Lovely to have 4K benchmarks and also FCAT 🙂 I'd like to request the chance to see also a 4K FCAT test - to see if the higher resolution (and thus more stress on card-communication) impact performance and might cause microstutter? And finaly - I cant seem to find info on AA - is it turned off for 4K or on? and what about gameworks? (sorry if its mentioned somewhere - I could not find it)

Man, that performance. It's really nice at 4k and I'd say that only people with 4k should invest in this really. For everyone else, 1x GTX1080 is enough.

performance is lacking imho. its amazing how relevant my almost 3 year old 290x tri-crossfire system is. 290x still kicking butt.

I'm still eagerly waiting for an update of the review - the 1070 seem to have a much more complete review 🙂 when is it getting updated? 🙂
