Hi,

So for Christmas i got a 1070Ti EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti DirectX 12 08G-P4-6678-KR 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-487-392&ignorebbr=true

I got this 2 days after buying my own 1070Ti EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti SC GAMING 08G-P4-5671-KR 8GB GDDR5 ACX 3.0 & Black Edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-487-387&ignorebbr=true

So my question is: should i keep the two 1070ti's and run them in SLI? Or should i just try to sell them and get a 1080ti or something similar? I dont have a gift receipt for the gifted 1070ti but i can return the 1070ti that i bought. Im just not 100% sure on the specs comparatively.

The only issue with running in SLI is i have a micro - ATX motherboard with a slot being used by my wifi card. So i would have to buy a new motherboard.

I hope this question makes sense.
 
Solution
A 1080ti or a new RTX2080 will smoke 1070tis in SLI, due to the fact SLI is largely unsupported or terribly implemented for gaming.

SLI is for the most part dead.
