Hi, I have a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X mobo and Asus Turbo 1070 Ti 8GB. I am thinking to upgrade to Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X mobo (along with Intel 11th Gen) and purchase another 1070 Ti 8GB (most likely a Zotac Amp or Mini) to use SLI. I am wondering if:
1) Gigabyte Z series Mobo seems to only indicate AMD Crossfire in the specification, do they support SLI? If it does not support, is there any mobo that does to recommend?
2) I did some research and SLI of same GPU core but from different manufacturer are possible. Since they are of different length (the SLI bridge portion will also be of different alignment?), does it mean I can only get the Flexi (Standard) SLI bridge instead of the higher end LED bridge or High-Bandwidth (HB) bridge? Wont that impact the performance?
3) Does it make sense to do SLI now, as I read somewhere that only certain games support them.
I understand SLI is dead but getting a 3 series card now is just too costly, even a 3060 cost 2x than what it used to at 700USD and 3070 Ti at 1150USD hence the idea to do an SLI.
