GTX 1080 SLI or 1080 Ti

Well, if I were you, I would wait for the 1080ti to see the specs before I jump and sell my 1080.

I have two GTX 1080s in SLI, both overclocked (1793mhz base 1993mhz boost 2050mhz max) and very stable. Assuming SLI is supported 2 GTX 1080s run quite well. I game at 4K so they scale fairly well too. Anything below 2K the scaling is poor...heck even at 2K the scaling isn't super but its not bad either. At 1080P though you only get another 25% or so from another GTX 1080 whereas 4K I usually get 70-80% scaling...2k more like 50-70% frame rate increase. I tried waiting for the GTX 1080Ti myself but gaming at 4K with two GTX 980s left a lot of games being rendered at 2K to be playable. I hope that helps.

As long as i run Vsync (either 60hz or 50hz) I have no issues with stuttering. If I do not run it, stuttering become very noticeable. I am very over the top myself when it comes to PC gaming so I feel you. I still run two GTX 980's in SLI for 1080P on my wifes rig.

If you need more umph and you understand not all games use SLI but want more power anyways I would say go for it!

@PCMAN

Yeah I run 2 GTX 1080s as well and those scaling ratios sound similar (58%-62%) to what I am seeing though I am guessing your at either 1440P Maybe 1080P. I am at 4K so my numbers while not as high do as stated have similar scaling, though I believe my scaling is a hair better then urs (70%-80%...90% if I am lucky). If you are at on of the lower resolutions though that would make since as the CPU begins to bottleneck you. SLI tends to scale better at higher resolutions. It always has.

On division the game i play most i get 60-83 fps with one gtx 1080 with everything maxed out in 3d settings and in game settings at 2k 144hz on my acer gaming monitor. With sli and my 2nd card enabled same 3d settings i only get 85-123 fps depending on place on map generally on average its probably around 93- 100. sli mind you only works with dx11 on division only works with sli mode not dx 12. in dx 12 i get 57-71 with sli enabled and 62 fps steady with vsync enabled.for some reason division runs better with fps capped at 120 and vsync enabled in game and in 3d settings i enabled adaptive sync which also makes it run smoother as i have an adaptive sync monitor and use a dp cable. in 3d mark firestrike i get 40k graphics score in sli. but it always says i have gsync enabled for some reason which lowers performance. Black ops 3 i get sometimes over 200 fps sli max 3d settings. witcher 3 sli i get around 60-75 max 3d settings. whats weird in 4k 60 hz it really doesnt drop much on my samsung ju7000 series tv. it usually runs great in all games. i do get some stutter and crashing/freezing/stutter in sli sometimes in division momentarily at 2k 144hz.

wish i would have just waited for gtx 1080 ti and used a cheap rx 480 in meantime instead of this sli.
Sometimes i love it sometimes its aggrivating.
hit or miss to me.
when it works it sure is fun though.
id get the 1080 ti and sell your gtx 1080 like im planning before the price drops way too low for any type of return on investment. microcenter already has gtx 1080 going for 469.99 after rebate and 499.99 regular price.
used on ebay only ones i see any bidding on founders cards are from 300-430$ and remember ebay gets 10% if you sell it. so if you sell 2 cards you can get a gtx 1080 ti.
if you sell one card you still need another 350 almost after tax to get 1080 ti.
you still would need 500$ to get 2nd card to match or more depending on if its not founders or not and its an aftermarket overclocked.
so those are your variables in your decision.

1080p and DSR 4K no overclocking
However I dId put the power at 120 % and voltage to Max
Hard games hit 1987 2035
I'd like going two cards to hopefully stay over a hundred frames maxed out 1080p
I would just added a second card and call it a day for all 1080s single users thinking of ti.

Black Ops 3 at 1080p max sync every frame to refresh rate of monitor

SLi 144-145 dont sync 220 stays above 220

1 card fps all over the place 77-144fps not as smooth

2013 TR at 1080p all set to highest setting If game has AA or vsync its on max
Tomb Raider benchmark numbers
1 card were 96 Low 144 max 135 avg

2 cards 72-120+ fps

Redux benchmarks 1 to 2 cards ridiculously different scores sli avg 127.

New driver 4/6/17 is great for metro 2033 redux
30-70 single card
65-144 SLI
SINGLE OR SLi fps all over the place
@1080p every setting on highest, 16x Vsync
Newer driver higher constant fps most of time its 94-114fps most of time now

So far they push new titan Xp as the 1070sli killer.
Now if a titan 2 gpu in 1 comes nextI I be shocked

Dont think sli is dead read alot on DX 12 they will take advantage of it down the line in games next round few dx12 games making 2 gpu work as one

Merto TLL BENCHMARKS same settings and res for 1080GTX SC sli and 1080GTX Ti at 1080p
Where ti got 101 fps avg
SLI got 143 average frame same setting same resolution both 1080Gtx at 2050/5508

Is my oc typical in all the pascall?
