So looking at games I play now especially older games, they tend to stress my GPU a lot more than they should, or they don't properly utilize the Pascal architecture. So I have started thinking about SLI
For one I currently have a Zotac Amp! Extreme 1080, definitely going to get a 1080 Ti, but based on current manufacturers and models I don't know if I want to stick with a single GPU config or go to SLI,
My thinking is that a similar single Zotac Amp! Extreme 1080 Ti should be able to blow away just about anything at 2k and do very well at 4k, if not also blow away 4k.
But What about 2-way SLI for the upcoming 1080 Ti? Would that just be complete overkill?
It's also worth pointing out Asus's attempt at the first 144Hz 4k monitor. I am also planning on getting that, as well as, hopefully sooner the Asus ROG Swift 144Hz, 1440p, G-sync monitor.
Would you actually NEED 2 1080 Ti's to actually use 144Hz at 4k?
Another thing is if I were to go to 2-way what would be a good card to use? The Amp! Extreme is a massive beast, and 2-way on that might get difficult since I use a brace for my single card as it is and I would have no idea how to support two of them. My second favorite would be the Asus ROG Strix OC hopefully that one wouldn't sag as much without a brace.
But anyways, would 1080 Ti 2-way even be worth it?
Hopefully a Titan X Pascal owner will chime in since the 1080 Ti will be very similar.
