I have a couple of questions that I need help with.

1. How do I enable SLI for my games? I watched a video that was saying to add the program through the Nvidia control panel and select the game that I want to use. Then select SLI rendering mode>Force alternate frame rendering 2? I ran a benchmark on Tomb Raider with SMAAx4 and my frames dropped by 20-30! That can't be right. What am I doing wrong? Does SMAA really take up that much?

2. How do I know that my other GPU has the latest driver update installed on it?

3. Is there a way to overclock both GPU's at once? If so how?

I am using MSI afterburner and I have 2 1080 ti's

1. If Nvidia has released the SLI profile for the game in question, it will automatically work. If there has been no official profile, use a tool called Nvidia Inspector to make your own. The SLI community is generally pretty fast about making a community profile. You say tomb raider and if you mean Rise of the tomb raider then there is a community fix for that.
2. Drivers will apply to both cards. If you want to double check this, nvidia inspector will tell you the current driver
3. afterburner will apply the overclock to both cards by deciding a master graphics card. But if you want to be 100% sure you can switch between cards in Afterburner

I don't even know where to go for all of that. What fix are you talking about? I have the Nvidia inspector but I am not sure what I am looking for
