Currently advising a family member on what to do for the time being. He wants to squeeze a few more frames out Fortnite for streaming. He also plays new rpg titles that are all over the place. The main focus is Fortnite because he entering online tournaments.
From the forums I have been reading dating back to 2017 multiple people have mentioned that SLI is not supported in most modern games, but he has the opportunity to grab an additional 1070 for $100.
My first question is does it have to be the same exact 1070 or do certain specs just have to match. The last time I bothered with dual GPUs was 2x6870s.
Second question is should he wait and save his money and purchase a card this autumn after his summer full-time work schedule (high school student), or should he buy a 1070 for $100 and wait for the next gen of cards to come out next summer/winter?
He has:
240hz Monitor
2x8 gb 3200 RAM
750w Power Supply
Case with good airflow and an air cooler
m2 ssd, and ssd
One 1070
I7 7700k
