So I have started building an Ubuntu 16.04 system that will start with 1 GTX 1080 Founders addition, 8gb ram, 3.3ghz intel CPU, and 1000w corsair psu.
I am waiting on my first GTX 1080 to come in the mail, Eventually i will be adding 1-2 more. I not being a gamer or one familiar with current GPU technolgies was wondering if i should be using the SLI connector once i have two cards or Not. How do i set up the machine to use the onboard graphics card for display and have multiple GTX's just for computing? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, i'm just stupid. I have not built a machine since like 1990
Also i have been reading a bunch of forums / tutorials on building such a rig, that all seem to be saying to install ubuntu 14.0 (they seem to be old posts) . Will 16.04 work? Are there issues installing the drivers?
I will likely be following this tutorial: http://www.netmux.com/blog/how-to-build-...acking-rig
