Yes, it supports dual CPU with SLI compatibility.
Hello from Russia. I have a query about Nvidia SLI compatibility for a Chinese motherboard (Jingsha x79 s8) with two Xeon 2690 CPUs. The board supports AMD Crossfire but not SLI. Someone knows how to update the BIOS to enable it? My setup includes a PC with two Xeon 2690s, 32GB ECC DDR3 RAM, and a Jingsha x79 s8 motherboard (LGA2011). The GPU is an Nvidia GTX1070 M.2 with 512GB storage.
This dual E5 board likely needs both CPUs to function properly on the PCIe bus. Users who previously purchased it mention it doesn't support SLI, and it may only work with Quadro boards if that condition is met.
It seems you're likely not planning to use SLI for gaming, as it's usually simpler to purchase a high-end GPU and avoid the complexity. For workstation purposes, SLI could be useful but its value depends on your specific needs and what you're trying to achieve.
