GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3 Way SLI

I  bought three GTX 780 Ti Gaming cards and was planning on running them in 3 way sli. However, the  metal back plate on the cooler prevents the use of a standard 3 way sli bridge. Is it even possible to run 3 way sli with these cards, and if so, how? I have 2 way sli running using a single sli bridge, but how to do 3 way sli has me stumped. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

First off, the question is regarding tri sli on the GTX 780 Ti Gaming cards. I need to know if there is a  TRI sli bridge that will work with these cards, BECAUSE....the metal back plate on the coolers PREVENT me  from using a regular TRI sli bridge. To the best of my knowledge there is no such " flexible" bridge for TRI sli. I have flexible 2 way sli bridges, but they are for two way, not THREE way sli. As for what platform etc etc, all of that is moot.
The mainboard used 'is' relevant, as if it doesn't support Tri-SLI, a 3-way bridge setup is moot. You want assistance? Give some information please.

Maybe this thread is in the wrong section? Off Topic Technical maybe? 
Try this link for flex Tri-SLI bridge or something else that might work. Google maybe?

  • MSI Z97 GAMING 9 AC + GTX 780 TI GAMING 3G SLI

    Hello,
    I have been trying to install my two GTX 780 TI videocards in SLI. It works fine when i put them in PCI slot 1 and 2, can easily enable SLI in the nvidia control panel. But the problem here is that the space between the videocards is so tight that the cards get extremely hot. So i decided to change the seconds videocard to PCI slot 3, so there is more space between the cards. But now i cannot enable SLI in the nvidia control panel, it just doesnt show the option. Tryed to look in the BIOS but i cant find any option that could fix this.
    What should i do to get this working?
    Kind regards,
    Valdarym

    Few solutions:
    #1: Replace thermal paste on both cards.
    #2: Test which card is running colder and place it as #1.
    #3: Watercooling (bit expensive)
    #4: Better airflow within the case. Maybe additional 2 fans, one blowing from the side of the cards and 1 from the front of the cards.
    #5: Buy bigger case with more places to attach fans to (quite expensive too).
    #6: Buy MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX AC which seems to have a lot more space between PCIe#1 and #2.
    #7: Refund the new card and stay in single card setup.
    Can't think of anything else that sounds logical.

  • Can I run a GTX 780 Lightning 3-way SLI with 2 Stock 780s?

    Hello all, quick question.
    I currently have 2 of the release date GTX 780s from MSI running in SLI. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the original cards now (and if you do, they are pretty expensive).
    I got a 4k monitor a while ago and i came across a cheap 780 lightning so i purchased it. I did a quick check on MSI's website and for some reason it says N/A next to 3-way sli for this card even though when comparing it to the stock card which says it does support 3-way SLI. Does anyone know why? The only difference between this card and my others is a slightly higher core clock/boost speed. I figured adding it SLI would be easy. Any ideas?
    This post won't let me insert links but the "Stock" card i am referring to is the MSI N780-3GD5 on their website, and the N780 Lightning.
    Thanks guys!

    as long as they are using the same GPU (GTX780) and have a equal frame buffer size on all 3 cards it should work in triple SLI as long as you have a good enougth power supply and your board supports 3 way SLI too!
    Thanks! I appreciate it.
    I have a 1300W power supply, and I just purchased a new MSI X79A-GD45 Plus motherboard. I believe this one supports 3-way SLI.

  • Request bios: MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G

    I'm just wondering if I have the latest bios for my MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G:
    S/N 602-V298-11081404030983
    GK110.rom link
    sendspace com/file/4sk33v

    It's the latest legacy vbios. If you want the latest UEFI use the attached.
    Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Then flash the vbios file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
    To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
    Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

  • MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr - GPU_Z Speeds not right

    I've just purchased the MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr which is supposedly spec'ed at 1020mhz GPU clock from factory.
    however, running GPU_z reveals that the GPU clock is 980 mhz only. seems like 40mhz less than stated in the product details?
    what I did do is messed with MSI GamingApp and when i chose the "OC" setting it went to 1020 mhz.
    is this expected?
    I was under the impression that it would be 1020 mhz as baseline without any sort of application tuning etc...
    thanks in advance.

    The card works as it should. Just refer to the product site:
    Quote from: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-780Ti-GAMING-3G.html#overview
    1020MHz Core (Boost Clock:1085MHz) (OC Mode)
    980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1046MHz) (Gaming Mode)
    876MHz Core (Boost Clock:928MHz) (Silent Mode)
     3072 GDDR5 7000MHz Memory
    The baseclock of 1020 Mhz is only enabled using oc mode of the Gaming APP while the Gaming Mode is the normal clockrate it would run at even if not using the Gaming APP. Of course you could still oc with Afterburner while at OC mode and up the clockrate even further or you are just using an oc tool like Afterburner to adjust the clockrate completely manually.
    The APP doesn't change any voltage settings. The voltage is determined by the gpu using Boost 2.0 (up to the maximum Nvidia boost voltage).

  • MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming - Coil Whine

    Hi all,
    I've bought 2 MSI GTX 780 ti 3G Gaming and I have the same problem with both : Unbearable coil whine in all game and with 3DMark.
    I'm not the only one who have this problem but I don't know if the card is responsible.
    Sometimes V-Sync reduce the noise but not completly.
    My config :
    MB : Asus Z87-Deluxe
    Corsair HX-850 and now Corsair RM-850
    Intel I7-4770K
    Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go)
    If the third card do the same noise,  what can I do ? Take a 780 Ti somewhere else that to MSI ?
    Thank you for your answer.
    Mike

    At the beginning, I had a Corsair HX-850, and I've changed it to a Corsair RM-850.
    Next I have tried a lot of changes on 2 systems :
    1st Computer :
    - Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
    - Asus Z87-Deluxe
    - Intel I7-4770K
    - Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go at 2400)
    => With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
    => With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
    => With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
    => With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
    2nd Computer :
    - Thermaltake V9 BlackX Edition
    - Asus P8P67-Deluxe
    - Intel I7-2600K
    - Corsair Vengeance (2x4Go at 1600)
    => With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
    => With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
    It seems that the Coil Whine is folowing the MSI 780 Ti. Perhaps I have to buy another MB like a MSI Z87... and after another CPU, and change my PLEXTOR PX-256M5Pro... and what ??? I shall like having enough money to spend to be your MSI beta tester...
    The MSI GTX 780 TI Gaming is the best card that I've seen for a long time, and I want to understand why I have some trouble with it.
      If you want to send me another 780 Ti, I'll try it with pleasure !

  • GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G new bios??

    Hi i buy GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G  but I see that there are two bios for this card??
    1.80.80.30.00.2C
    2.80.80.30.00.30
    why there are two bios for this card ,Are both original .
    Will it work the second bios on my card (Nvflash) if I put it.
    How It Works Gaming APP  in the second bios?
    what frequencies work OC model (gaming app) with second bios?
    P.P -lol here one more   80.80.34.00.0E 
    and all the support you  uefi/gop vbios   ?

    All these numers are useless and not representing bios versions. The same model can use different versions for different batches (because of different vga ram used or similar production changes). Without your S/N it is impossible to tell which vbios is right for your card. Also to check an actual copy of the vbios currently used is needed.   

  • X99S MPOWER and 780 Lightning 2-way SLI

    Hi,
    After more than 4 years I'm thinking of replacing my beloved i7 930 @4.2GHz and MSI X58A-GD65 with a i7 5820K and a MSI X99S MPOWER.
    However, I currently own a MSI GTX 780 Lightning and it is my intention to get a second one to go SLI, so I am a bit concerned regarding the spacing of the PCI-E 3.0 slots on the latter motherboard.
    According to the mainboard manual, tha I downloaded, the X99S MPOWER only supports 2-way SLI on the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 slots, which are spaced 2 slot apart. Given that a 780 Lightning basically covers 3 slots, the configuration recommended by the manual is unusable. What I would need instead is to use the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 in the manual, which are spaced 4 slots apart.
    Would that be possible???
    I cannot believe that MSI has designed an enthusiast-oriented board that cannot be used with a 2-way SLI configuration based on their flagship nVidia graphics card... so, please, tell me it's not true!
    P.s. I have checked the X99S XPOWER manual and with that board I would be able to set up the 2-way SLI the way I need, but it costs almost £100 more than the X99S MPOWER...

    The layout of X99S Mpower is indeed quite bad. If using recommended slots PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 for 2-way SLI thermal issues are a sure thing for the upper card if it fits at all as there is just one slot in between. Still you can use the 2nd card in PCI_E5 without a problem (if SLI bridge is long enough and can cover three slots). This will just change the lane setup what is irrelevant in your case. Your 5820K just offers 28 lanes anyway so 2nd card would be at x8 in any case. The only difference when running in PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 would be that first card stays at x16 in 2 way SLI but that's irrelevant if 2nd card is at x8 none the less. Using PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 both are running at X8. That's would be the maximum possible on a socket 1150 board and SLI works fine in this config. For the nvidia driver the populated slots are not relevant for enabling SLI, both slots just need to run at x8 minimum.

  • MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

    Hi,
    I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
    Thanks!
    BR, Tobias

    as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
    you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!

  • Bios compatibility for SLI MSI 780 TI Gaming 3G

    Good afternoon!
    Well, before retailers and other places clear out their stock of the 780 TI, I'd like to get another one.
    My question is - I've gotten an updated BIOS from this forum for my current MSI Geforce GTX 780 TI Gaming 3G. When I get my second one and attempt to use SLI - does my second card require the same BIOS that my current card was updated to for SLI to work?
    Or do I not need to worry about that? I just want to get my head in order before I pull the trigger on this.
    Thanks again guys!

    Quote from: badboy2k on 20-September-14, 01:42:30
    do not flash your new one with the others VBIOS version (If you need one for it come and ask us for one as different batches need different versions as the VRAM may be different)!
    I would never do that! I probably won't even flash the other one if it's not necessary.
