No, he said IPC and then changed it to performance in response to Det0x. See where Det0x quoted the original post?

Nope. It has to be the same model. You can mix and match different manufacturers

Wait a second, didn't something change with 1080 series that changed that though? I remember something about changes to how SLI worked that allowed something like that...
DX12 has a mGPU mode that allows for mixed hardware... even AMD+Nvidia.
AMD has allowed mixed CFX for a long time... 5000 series or earlier? I know 6000 supported it.

Similarly I'd think if you had a 480 and a Fury X CF doing AFR either the Fury X would be doing more of the frames and balancing that would be a mess. Would love to see FCAT of such a rig.
I'll buy the SFR but note the gains usually weren't nearly as high with that and it seems to me there were some other issues as well with IQ. (Which is why everything went AFR in the first place, the checkerboard and SFR had issues) Still think if you're going to SLI or CF identical GPUs makes the most sense.
Ah did not see that. Apologies.No, he said IPC and then changed it to performance in response to Det0x. See where Det0x quoted the original post?
I can see identical gpus being the "best balanced" and therefore the smoothest mgpu setup could be. I would always choose a faster single gpu over mgpu though.I'll buy the SFR but note the gains usually weren't nearly as high with that and it seems to me there were some other issues as well with IQ.

Thats why you don't use it for AFR, but split frame rendering.
Tom's did some frame testing back in the AOTS beta. Sadly I don't think anyone covered it past the initial support in beta.

From the Babletech review,I'm hearing that the new direct X 12 driver is seeing major gains with Doom and Hitman.
Quote.
"What did we actually see? Well, the most dramatic gain that we noted was in Vulkan DOOM where our GTX 1080 went from 77.6 average fps at 3440×1440 to 98.2 fps!'
The second most dramatic gain was 75.6 fps to 86.4 fps in Hitman at 3440×1440. We also noted good gains with Ashes of the Singularity and with The Division."
I’ve already seen some confusion here over whether the GTX 1080 Ti launch driver (378.78) is a special performance driver or not. For the record, it is not.
In their presentation, NVIDIA outlined their driver performance gains in DX12 since the launch of various DX12 games, including Ashes of the Singularity, Hitman, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. All of these games have seen performance improvements, but what’s critical here is that this is over the long-run, since the launch of the GTX 1080 and these respective games.
The 378.78 driver in that respect is nothing special. In terms of driver release, NVIDIA is already a few releases into the R378 branch, so any big code changes for this branch have already been released to the public in earlier driver builds.
So fastest card on the planet, 72% ahead of Fury X at stock (TPU). Can't wait for the AIB custom models.
Digital Foundry said:Secondly, Nvidia has clearly put a bit of work into getting Ashes of the Singularity and Hitman DX12 performance up to snuff. Traditionally, AMD sped ahead on equivalent hardware (in this case, GTX 1070 vs R9 Fury X), but no longer. For its part, AMD's R9 Fury X also sees across the board improvement. The Fury's sub-par performance at lower resolutions has been improved in several cases, but it is still the weakest card tested here. Vega can't come soon enough.
What amazes me is the number of reviews stating what great value it is. Nvidia are very clever. They intentionally set the titan price far too high, perhaps not even selling as many chips as they can make, only to massively drop the price and everyone thinks it's a great deal. Reminds me of all those sofa stores that overprice all their sofa's for 1 month, so they can then sell them "40% off!!!" and everyone thinks it must be an amazing bargain.
