SLI 1080 cards or one 1080TI for 3D and multimedia?
Hi guys. My name is Kristoffer and Im on the verge of upgrading my GPU from rx480 to 1080. Im a concept art student so I do alot of modeling, sculpting, rendering, in 3D, and I need advice from people who know what they are talking about.. Im at a point where Im thinking if I should get 2 SLI connected 1080:s or one… -
Re: SLI 1080 cards or one 1080TI for 3D and multimedia?
This is a great site for comparing: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html In most cases, you're paying a lot more over a regular 1080 for about 12% better performance. The price curve for super high end hardware is always out of whack. Hell, a 1080 Ti really isn't that much faster than a 1070. The Vega… -

Ok, thank you Axi5 and PolyHertz. My friend told me the same. It does tip towards 1080 TI. For sure. Its a powerful card indeed, perfectly suited for my needs as fast iterations, quick renders, and look development is high on the list. Also being able to flow freely with high count in viewport is a must. I´ve seen though… -

I installed the card. Obviously there are alot of critical advantages with it except that it looks awesome in my machine. The first thing I noticed was the iteration speed in Iray in Substance Painter. As a concept artist stuudent, I try to find new ways of making quick look development shots, which will guide me in… -

SLI is not recommended as few apps these days properly take advantage of it, and it may even introduce glitches that aren't there when using a single GPU. 1080Ti is by far the better option. -

hmm, ok. Thanks. I was also looking at AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition. does anyone have experience of this card for 3D work? Ive seen a few tests but most of them are for games. This is AMD:s new architecture, and Im wondering if this could be a better choice than 1080Ti. -

Thanks alot for this comments EarthQuake. Really good and smart and thought provoking. I just got the card so I have some work to do, but I want to take time and think it through before I reply to your words. So dont think Im ditching anything, just want to write good causes for my purchase and why I got it in the first… -

One last thing: that 480 is like ~1 year old and cost what, $400? That's still a very good card. You don't have to spend $500 every year on a new GPU to work in game dev. -

For your information, Substance Painter doesn't support SLI. It will most probably crash if the feature is enabled.
