So I currently have 2 GTX 760s (2Gb) in SLI and don't really notice any performance increase when running them. Am I missing a catch? I've been on NVidia control panel and enabled SLI.

The problem you are most likely having is that many games don't fully support SLI and a lot of the time you are still just gaming on a single GPU while the second one is just sitting there sucking up the power. Many tech websites recommend to just run a single powerful GPU as opposed to 2+. I used to run SLI 770s and like you didn't see much, if any difference while gaming. I sold my 770s and bought a 980ti, which is about the same in capability as my 770s were, but with the full time power and not the "if all situations are correct" power. I would go with a GTX 1060 6gb or GTX 1070 if I was you.

60Hz, unsure of the ms as when I bought it (2 years ago) I didn't really know monitor mattered. 5ms just checked in its info

Ah ok, is there any method of running different profiles known to work with games that don't fully support SLI? Seeming likes its getting phased out more and more these days...

Dragon Age Inquisition performs no better
Batman Arkham knight still capped at 30FPS (sometimes goes up to 60 then laggs like hell as it fluctuates)
Call of Duty (Pretty much all of them)
Skyrim Legendary edition

Suppose they're the main ones

I do have the newest drivers yes. The old skyrim runs with SLI but not the new one, Cod 4 remastered crashes every 5minutes to 1 hour when using SLI, advanced warfare seriously glitches out when using snipers and SLI but even before the glitches all 3 won't run above 30fps. If i turn V-Sync off it fluctuates so much it is unplayable
