I was really disappointed in that article when I looked at it, and it seems that I'm disappointed in most review sites which are doing the 2-way SLI 1080 benchmarks, and that's because they're not putting them up against any other meaningful multi-GPU benchmarks. It just doesn't make any sense.

I mean... HTF can you review a GPU in SLI when you don't put it up against any other multi-GPU competition? That just doesn't make any sense to me. TechPowerUp did a very similar thing and put up 1080 SLI against 970 SLI, which is just as weird as not putting it up against any multi-GPU benchmarks at all, but as for a bonus, they also have an aftermarket Asus GPU which they're putting up against stock cards of the prior generation. Look how much faster this overclocked, aftermarket 1080 is compared to a stock 980 Ti!

Again, I'm not saying that the 1080 isn't a nice GPU, but this all just feels like such a weird release to me because it seems like information is being hidden, or skewed. Especially when you look at nVidia's most recent jab at AMD:

It's convenient that the graph starts at 0.8, but someone from the Anandtech forum fixed the graph.

There's another thread on Anandtech where people were talking about that article, and I agree with this particular post at the moment. However, I'd also assume a price tag of at least $1200 if a Titan was going to show up anytime soon.

Titan "P" for "Privilege"
