Would 2 different GPU's in MDA mode work ?

[Rokas2260]

So I saw on Youtube from Linus Tech Tips that there are some modes of SLI and I noticed that they mentioned that you could technically game on MDA mode with 2 graphics cards that are different and it would all work...? Is that really true ? (He did mention as an example graphics cards like AMD and NVIDIA together but what if let's say a 1070 with a 960, could that work ?)

The game would need to support it, only 1 game does, Ashes of the Singularity.

Awh damn.. Well okay, thanks for the answer

There are few others like Hitman, Sniper Elite, Civilization 6.

Some of those may be limited to identical cards though. They basically implemented SLI/Crossfire AFR using DX12.

But effectively there is not much momentum behind it, and many of the big game engines have no support for it so it will not be trickling down to games released under them. No return on development time to target the 1 or 2% of people that might have two GPUs.

A good argument against it would be you could get nearly double the performance of a 1070 with a 1080Ti. And since only a few of Nvidia's top cards still support SLI I can see that trend going away. Nvidia has their Nvlink tech as well. They'll certainly put more R&D into that.

I haven't seen much crossfire stuff in a while, so difficult to get cards, let alone two.
