Nvidia pascal will increase bandwidth for sli configurations

The SLI configurations for Nvidia graphics cards allow two graphics cards, or more, to work as if they were one, increasing the performance up to two, three or four times the performance depending on the number of cards used in the SLI, this in theoretical is clear.

The new Bridges SLI will come in various sizes

For the new generation of Pascal graphics cards, Nvidia plans to launch a new "bridge" that will considerably increase bandwidth compared to the previous Maxwell generation, this translates into higher graphics performance for those who are thinking of performing an SLI between two GTX 1080 or 1070 graphics, failing that.

We recommend reading our guide to the best graphics cards.

So far it has only been confirmed that Nvidia will launch these "bridges" for SLI configurations that are made up of two graphics cards but there was no mention that they can be launched for configurations of three or four cards, these questions could be answered on 17 May, when the green company provides more information about its new graphics cards.

What has been confirmed is that the "old" bridges that were used for the GTX 9xx series will continue to work in the Pascal generation, but naturally they will not take full advantage of it until they acquire the new Nvidia bridges.

Recall that the new Pascal graphics cards will be released to the consumer on May 27, the GTX 1080 for 699 euros and the GTX 1070 for 399 euros.
