[SOLVED] SLI Support? ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi)

[rcald2000]

Does this motherboard support 2-way SLI? If not, which AM4 socket / X570 chipset motherboards support 2-way SLI?

Do Not Do Not Do Not..... respond with SLI caveats. I'm very familiar with what's achievable through 2 way SLI with the games that I play. However I'm moving from Intel to AMD platform, hence my question.

I'd like to get the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi), but I'm not sure it supports Nvidia SLI (NVlink) or not.

The AMD X570 chipset delivers outstanding overclocking capabilities for the latest AMD AM4 socket for 3rd and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ /2nd and 1st Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Processors. It is optimised for multiple GPU configurations, including NVIDIA SLI® and AMD CrossFireX™.

PC Tailor Thank you. I have indeed read that product page, albeit the US site. I understand that it's not marketed as SLI, but I'm seeking independent confirmation, hence my post. Thanks for your reply.

No SLI support on that board, the 2nd pci-e 16x slot only runs at 4x(SLI requires at least 8x).

bignastyid Now that you've mentioned it, I do see that specification listed (below). However, isn't PCIe 4.0 x4 equivalent to PCIe 3.0 x8, and therefore possibly SLI compatible? Or is that only for future PCIe 4.0 compatible graphics cards? FYI: I plan on using SLI with two 1080 Ti's, which are definitely not PCIe 4.0 aware.

3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors
1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x16 mode)

AMD X570 chipset
1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (max at x4 mode)

The SLI spec doesn't work like that. It looks at the lane amount not version. Plus no current Nvidia GPU uses 4.0.

Okay, thank you.

Maybe either of these. Running 8+8 supporting NVlink.
