I currently own one Strix GTX1080ti O11G and am looking for a second card for an SLI setup. If I were to purchase a non-O11G and use that in SLI with the O11G I have, does that cause any issues or degradation of the combined cards - meaning would the overall clock speed reduce to the non overclocked card?

No. It wont use the 11 Gbs of Vram.
SLI works this way:
1 card does ALL the job and the other card just supports it. So basically you will get luckly 50% or even less of its maximum performance as addition to the card that is doing all the job.
It cause no issue and no degradation. When you have SLI it is recommended to not overclock any of the 2 cards.

I honestly wouldnt SLI 2 gtx 1080ti. I would invest on a Single Titan X Unless you have a very specific job for those.

Thanks, but your reply doesn't answer my question.
There are 2 models of the 1080ti available in the Strix variety from Asus the 11G and the O11G. The difference is the O11G (the one I own) has been overclocked at the factory. The 11G has runs at stock speed.
My question is if I purchased an 11G model, how would that work in SLI with the O11G?
 


sli works at the speed of the slower card.
Why do you need or want SLI?
