Hi glimpse,
I thought SLI wasn't relevant when it came to Octane. Or did you mean for gaming?

Cheers mate.

You don't need SLI, however, this post might not be named properly - these chips give You a possibility to multiply/split lanes - so in the end You can house not only card or two but three or four =) with relativelly low end CPU without need stepping to X79 or server chips..& more expensive CPUs.

are You looking for something?
