GPU Performance - SLI GTX570/580 performance?

PostWed Sep 04, 2013 9:43 pm

Hey,

This is my first post in the Post Sub-forum, and I wanted to know if any of you here have experience working with a set of gtx 570/580 in SLI with Resolve 8/9

I actually currently have a setup that consists of a an ATI CrossFire config, with an 2gb HD6950 and a 2gb HD6970 (which basically resolve to about the same as the gtx cards i mentioned , but in opencl instead of Cuda).

I was wondering how well this setup would functinon in 2k (or possibly 4k) in the upcoming version of Resolve.



my current setup:

Amd FX8350 - 8core Vishera
12gb ram (which I will be upgrading to 32 shortly)
CF ATI Radeon HD6950/6970
3x 2tb HDD (Also plan to upgrade shortly)

My understanding is that SLI is not supported as Resolve uses the CUDA processors differently to how games might do that do support SLI.

SLI combines the GPUs so they appear as a single GPU to the application. Resolve is designed to access multiple individual GPUs (up to 4) that it can the spread the processing across.

You would be better off removing the SLI bridge and letting Resolve access bother GPUs.
