As above. What you guys think? go for a full overhaul? or just the 1080 GTX in SLI?. note am using Win 10 with 32 GB of Corsair Rams

Also Note am OCing my CPU to 4.4 Ghz

Sorry another edit:
My Motherboard is limiting SLI to 8x only, not 16x. 16x only if its one card. Will this create any bottlenecks?

My PSU is Corsair AX 1200 and Motherboard is Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA

yeah & ur i7 has enuf grunt to run any gpu no issues u have heaps of ram. Generaly rule of thumb if u got plenty ram decent cpu & a good videocards u have no bottleneck u will end up probly finding that the cards will be locked back a bit wait a few months after release as any bugs or gremllns in the cards u never know wait for all decent gamers & reviewers to see if they likes them ur running an i7 so anything will run & go mean

if it does turn out to be as fast as two gtx 980's then 8x pcie speeds could be an issue


wait for benchmarks when the card gets released

Your setup will do completely fine. I don't belive that gtx1080 will do as two 980 in standard gaming situations and I'm also sure that the PCIe x8 penalty won't be more than 2 - 3%.

probably you´ll already figured out but when you sli/crossfire your 16x pcie lane will be divided by 2, meaning once you pair two cards you´ll always be running pcie at 8x 8x

if you d add a third card it would go something like 4x2x2
