I don't visit the video/graphics forum as much as I visit the others. I prefer NVidia, but for no particular reason. It's become a habit.
I'm planning to build a new Skylake system for OC with watercooling. To explain the depth of my "planning," I'm "planning" to pull the string at the checkout buttons in September.
For various reasons, the "mini" cards have attracted my attention: issues of case integration, ducting and other matters.
I don't "see" any differences or limitations between the mini cards and those of regular size in terms of significant performance. I'd like to know if somebody else has more detailed information, but I haven't found anything to distinguish the two types of cards -- except for size.
For this system, I might follow my old pattern: buy one card first; buy the other card sometime later. I might not even "need" a second card.
There are reviews of regular GTX 1070 in 2x SLI -- for instance, Johnny Guru.
Yet, the promo "features" page from resellers like Newegg and the manufacturer of the Gigabyte mini card don't mention SLI. No less -- looking at pictures of the card, the edge-connector for an SLI bridge is clearly shown, and it wouldn't be some "vestigial" feature of manufacture: not for a PCB of a different size with design differences.
Does anyone know any better than I conclude from my logical inference?
