Braegnok Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 It's been awhile since I posted any new system builds, so figured I'd post my latest build. CPU : i9-9900KS MOB : Asus Maximus XI Apex GPU : NVLINK RTX2080Ti FE SLI RAM : G.SKILL F4-3600C14D-16GTRSB Primary : Samsung 970 Pro 512GB Storage : Corsair Neutron XTi 1920GB PSU : Corsair AX1600i Chassis : Thermaltake A700 TG Cooling : Corsair H150i Pro Display : Predator X27 Audio : SteelSeries Arctis Pro Keyboard : Das 4 Ultimate Mouse : Logitech G Pro OS : Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit Running single card till December 4th, I screwed up and ordered 4-slot bridge and need a 3-slot. So if anyone needs a 4-slot RTX NVLINK bridge PM me it's for sale. 3DMARK default settings single card run. http://www.3dmark.com/spy/9511408 AIDA64 Cachemem run.

Boinker Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 That is a lot of power in one box. Bet the experience is epic.... To say the least. Nice build Braegnok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) System is pulling 1400W+ with all 8-cores @ 5.3GHz and both cards OC +200/850. NVLink-based SLI multi-GPU technology seems to have lots of potential, though it is still in the early phases and the technology isn't being fully utilized with current applications. In reality, multi-card scaling depends on support from developers, but it is exciting to see a breath of new life given to multi-card configurations running NVLink. 3840 x 2160 HDR gaming is indeed epic.

ir_cow Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 u Crazy!! Hows the HDR working for you? I have issues with games saying its in HDR mode but be completely blown out until I go into the windows 10 HDR menu turn it off and than back on. Works for a few days and the same thing happens. So now I leave HDR disabled. Not worth the hassle of having stuff looking wacky half the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) So far everything is scaling great no issues on the few games that I'v played @ 4K HDR,.. Rise of the Tomb Raider, and F12019. +1 on disabling HDR if it does not work, and running @ 4K UHD. I was having issues with Steam crashing while downloading updates yesterday but seems OK now,.. looking forward to issues though utilizing DLSS and DXR/RTX,..

Braegnok Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) I got both cards up and running with new 3-slot bridge, and swapped out 2x8GB memory kit to 2x16GB. 3DMARK default settings NVLink run. http://www.3dmark.com/spy/9586757 AIDA64 Cachemem run.

road-runner Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Nice rig nice performance also.. As a comparison I looked back to see what my 1080s done on that bench with skylake x. I just now finally got the rig moved in as my main rig not upgrading for awhile lol.. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/2234635 Edited December 9, 2019 by road-runner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) tks,.. Skylake X systems are only a few years old and will be solid for years too come. launched Q3'17. Thinking I'm going to make this rig my daily driver, it runs cool & quiet while performing daily tasks it's basically silent. The chassis is huge with lots of air-flow, rotational PCI-E slots to display graphics cards vertically might lower top cards temps a bit while gaming, going to give it a go this weekend and rotate the slots see if temps change. I added some storage drives yesterday, three Samsung EVO 4TB SSD drives, and now waiting on new cables as I misplaced or used the cables that came with motherboard. Only down side with this rig so far is having a clear glass rear panel. You need to spend some time on cable management as everything is exposed on backside of motherboard.
