recent benchmarks released by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/reviews\/NVIDIA\/GeForce_GTX_1080_SLI\/\" target=\"_blank\">Techpowerup<\/a><\/strong> which show that the cards can easily manage 4K gaming at 60 FPS, with some games even passing the 100 FPS mark.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, setting up the GTX 1080&#8217;s in SLI is not as easy as it has been in the past, with a SLI HB Bridge now being required as opposed to the old SLI\u00a0connectors\u00a0(although a non-branded bridge will do).<\/p>\n<p>This is the <strong><a
