[SOLVED] Better GPU Connectivity Interface

[Andrewbandrew05]

So I may be completely wrong here, but it seems like hooking up two gpus and getting near 2x performance shouldn't be too hard. As I understand it, Crossfire and SLI can cause lots of problems with marginal benefits. Furthermore, why do games even need to support dual gpus in the first place? I mean lets say I have 2 2080tis. I want to run them together in order to get a billion fps in Minecraft for whatever reason. Lets say Minecraft doesn't have support for 2 gpus. Why can't the motherboard just have a hard wired connection between two pciex16 slots? Not just were they can communicate but where there are enough connections between them that they can act as PCB. There would be latency problems with this, but you'd think it wouldn't be too bad. Then the gpus would be registered as one super 2080ti and the games code for a regular 2080ti would suffice. Why don't motherboard manufacturers do this? I mean sure each you has different PCBs but all their pins on the pcie connector have to be arranged the same.

because if the nvidia/amd can't do it. why would you think motherboard manufacturer can do it?

 

[Andrewbandrew05]

A motherboard manufacturer can make a cpu, sad, hdd, ram, gpu, network card, sound card, fans, everything work together. Yet they can't run some wires between 2 gpus?

 

[rgd1101]

they don't make them work together. that what driver/spec do
What you looking for is working great together. If you look thru the forum. there hardware compatible issue everywhere.

 

[Andrewbandrew05]

Except wouldn't the physical pins be the same? If so there could be a direct hardware connection between the two gpus and the driver would treat them as one thiccy boi gpu

 

[rgd1101]

they are the same. is driver support/game support issue.
if it easy, you could do it.
