jcordero Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Since the RTX 2080s in my P870TM don’t have SLI capabilities, what would be the best use for them? Should I sell one of the MXM cards for some sweet $$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrosoft Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If you can't think of a use for a second 2080, sell it. How did you end up with 2x of them in your TM?

jcordero Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 I bought the TM from Eurocom and I configured it with 2x 2080s to use with a dual monitor setup with multiple GPU intensive applications running on each (I'm an auto engineer). I'm just wondering if there were any other use cases besides the one I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer79 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I used 2x RTX2080 in the P870TM. It worked well. I tried all this almost 2 years ago. This is so-called SEMI-SLI. In games it also works, but you don't have extreme advantages. I can send a benchmark from 3D MArk later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look at the video mentioned by @ssj92 - https://youtu.be/R1CG9sCMmnA I think this is how you can do it aswell. This video and the SEMI-SLI or whatever is probably the same thing.
