I would expect so, though are you planning to upgrade from an i7-7700K? To what, an i7-8700K?
Obviously that will help with some games since you have SLI GTX1080, though I'd be curious to know how MUCH it actually benefits.
If that's your plan I would also WAIT for a few months for:
a) motherboard review to come in with sufficient TIME to see what motherboards are solid and which ones have issues, and
b) BIOS updates

To minimize bottleneck you need:
a) i7-8700K, and
b) 2x16 (PCIe v3) - motherboard must support this for both cards.
If you drop to x8 per card you can lose a lot of performance. I saw some benchmarks for 2x(Titan X Maxwell) showing for example 120FPS vs 100FPS, and 68FPS vs 89FPS in different scenarios. Only difference was 2x8 vs 2x16.

They finally posted the prices. Took a while to find this board on newegg. Finally saw they updated with links on their edge up page. $260 us for non WiFi, $280 us with WiFi.

Just need to wait for the 8700k to be in stock. Though I am upgrading from an i7 920, so my patience is pretty low. Lol

Posted to the old thread accidentally.
I can only find the WiFi version at the moment. Also I can only find that on new egg. Seems odd to me since every other board seems available. Hopefully it gets updated soon.
