And the version the Vortex is using is a GTX 980 with 8GB Vram on each card ? For a total of 16GB ? That's quite a frame buffer .

With SLI you only get one cards vram so really its 2 980's with a total of 8GB DX12 is supposed to fix that issue.

That's my understanding as well. DX12's multi GPU support is not SLI related, and it can fully utilise all VRAM, but not just the master GPU.

Which is how it should have always been done. It's just one of those corrections in tech that make you wonder why it was done the other way to begin with.
