Patrons Ask GN 22: 3-Way NVLink? Solder More RAM onto GPU?
🕑 Added 2018-09-27 20:32:25 +0000 UTC Hi all!We have another Patrons Ask GN video for you. We also just filmed our behind-the-scenes video and will be editing it shortly. That shows the new test lab overhaul and how much we can get done at once with the office.
In the meantime, here's the new Patrons Ask GN:
Video here: https://youtu.be/KnTwgjITd_Y
RTX Game Deep-Dive
00:19 – Spacejamflam: “#askgn-questions do you plan on doing Deep Dives™ into RTX-suite games & applications as they arrive?”
3-Way NVLink Benchmarks
01:52 – metalshark: “Are there any benchmarks using more than one NVLink’ed 2080Ti?”
Solder Extra GDDR6 Chip on 2080 Ti
02:26 – IonParty: “#askgn-questions would it be possible to solder another chip of GDDR6 into the missing spot on the RTX 2080 Ti since it has the one missing chip? Would like to know if i could sell my other kidney for the bragging rights to have the only 384-bit 12GB VRAM on the 2080 Ti.”
Do You Use a Teleprompter?
03:55 – Method: “#askgn-questions do you guys use a teleprompter? It almost seems like you don't most of the time but never fall into the typical no-nos of public speaking like repeating yourself over and over, something I see pretty commonly with other youtubers that dont use teleprompters”
GN in 5-10 Years?
04:45 – abalanceddiet: “going forward, where do you see GN in the next 5-10 years? Do you plan on sticking to mostly hardware reviews and news, or would you like to expand into other areas of the market? For example, would you like to produce more content in the investigative journalism side of things, do more content on how things work at a lower level (similar to your video on RAM timings etc.)”
NVLink vs. SLI-HB
06:33 – Eidelweiss: “#askgn-questions With Nvidia moving to NVLink from SLI-HB, do you think there will be an appreciable difference in the value of multi-card setups? Or is all the bandwidth in the world not going to matter if software developers still don't develop for it? Also, how would you test NVLink vs SLI-HB? Is a test like that even possible?”
What Happened to Volta?
07:21 – Humphrey: “#askgn-questions Whatever happened to the Titan V and Volta? Wasn’t that a new architecture? I kinda expected new consumer cards based on that to come out but instead we got the 20XX generation and Turing. Is Volta dead?”
Comments
When can we expect the PSU testing information in the future?
I didn't watch the video, just became a Patreon because I love your journalism, but I would like what GL3D is suggesting in the above post about the Bloomberg article. Wasn't there something about the US government saying they knew about it? Seems awfully timed to Trump's administration wanting to move manufacturing to the US. In your report on the tariffs, EVGA - I believe it was - said they had no plans on building new facilities in the US. So is it possible the Bloomberg article is fake imposed by the Trump admins to preassure the market to move manufacturing to the US?

Could you please explain why benchmarks result (real world workload or synthetic) are never the same when running with the same HW? What are those hidden variables?
This may be off topic, but could you look into the Bloomberg article about Supermicro chips? Supermicro issued a response on the 5th says they "emphatically challenged the serious allegations in yesterday's Bloomberg BusinessWeek story about the supply chain security of our systems." This is disconcerting for a number of obvious reasons. Is it true, or is it Bloomberg fluff?

It's been 12 days. Any new ASK GNs coming our way?
Steve. please debunk/analyze the MonsterLabo passive case which claims to cool 8700K + 1080 with just one 120/140mm fan. Lower specs even completely passive. <a href="https://www.monsterlabo.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.monsterlabo.com/</a> and <a href="https://www.monsterlabo.com/09-11-firsts-bench-tests-available/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.monsterlabo.com/09-11-firsts-bench-tests-available/</a>
