2 way SLI gtx 980ti vs gtx 1080

[dddisback]

Hey guys,
Since gtx 1080 will be coming out soon by the information they provided us it will obviously outperform the 980ti, and the price of the 980ti will obviously drop by a large amount(can't say exactly yet but expecting atleast a 200$ drop). We will have to wait for the benchmarks of the 1080 to be sure of this. Would the 2 way SLI 980ti ourperform the gtx 1080 since I would probably be able to get 2 980ti's for the price of a gtx 1080. What do you guys think?

just pick up another 980ti and go sli. The 980ti's are already going for $400

Na the 980ti sli beats the 1080. Of course if you did 1080sli then that would beat the 980ti sli but the 980ti sli setup shouldn't have any issues at 1440p, 4k or 1080p. Thats a monster sli setup.

im actually having an issue in csgo with fps my setup is an asus rog hero alpha i7 6700k dual evga 980 ti sc
im only getting 125 fps was at 250, pulled one of the cards and still at 125fps , could my bridge have died?

is sli enabled? Even with one 980ti you should be maxed at 300......i would do a motherboard driver and BIOS update then maybe use DDU to uninstall all current display drivers and then install a fresh set. Then re enable sli and try again.

i got to 300fps, now im curious i bought my cards at microcenter and bought an extended warranty on one of them, a sales person told me im able to use my warranty to have my 980ti with a 1080 should i do that? or na. i currently have 2 rigs same specs i 7 6700k asus hero alpha 16gb ddr4 ram but only use one since i never bought gpus for the second rig,

thinking of waiting until the ti or something other then founder and standard edition come out and doing a 1080 ti sli

Okay, I would take that advice as to how rough SLI is ^
I still stand by the rest of my post though. I don't ever see buying two cards as a better solution than simply buying one that you can SLI later.

What if this is "later" and the 980ti was that card?

I honestly would still go with Pascal at this point... You're coming into the SLI game a bit late on that card. At the moment, a lot of the 980Tis are still $450-$500, which puts you about $150 short of a 1080. I would ask what resolution you're going for, and if you're willing to wait for the 1080Ti to come out for the 1070-1080 prices to drop a bit, unless they decide to gouge on the 1080Ti.
