[SOLVED] Is it worth to use sli?

[Mörtti]

Hey,

I’m wondering if its worth to use SLI on 2 1080ti or just buy 2080 ti?

Im getting 1080ti 533€ each and 2080 ti is 1100€-1300€ lowest .

Pls help.

If your usage is gaming:

Just buy a 2080Ti if those are your options.
Dual GPUs is slowly becoming redundant.

Not only does it unnecessarily double your power usage, but most games are either poorly optimised or won't run at all with dual GPUs.
That and the gain you get from running one better and newer GPU typically outweighs the benefit of 2 GPUs.

If sli isnt worth should i go with 1 gtx 1080ti or 2080 ti with double of its price

What is it about your 1080Ti you're currently not happy with?
What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate?

I own 1080 and thinking of upgrading couse now gtx 1080 ti is cheap on 533€ price when it was 800-1100€ few weeks ago

And my monitor is 1080p 144hz

Yes but are you currently suffering in performance in some way? Or is there an improvement you are looking for exactly?

And my monitor is 1080p 144hz

IMO anything above a 2060 is overkill for 1080p. If that's what you're currently running, I can't see an upgrade to a 2080 Ti being worth it.

Well im getting fps drops and some stuttering

Are all gtx 1080’s overclockable

I would be looking at your whole system, PSU, RAM, Storage, Internet etc. to identify where the stuttering is coming from. I run a 1060 6G on 1080p 144Hz and barely get any stuttering on most games.

Are all gtx 1080’s overclockable

Yes pretty much. But all will overclock to different capabilities. But again, I wouldn't necessarily jump to it being your GPU straight away. I wouldn't normally expect a 1080 Ti to ever stutter on 1080p unless there was something else causing an issue.

SLI Sucks now, just get a 2080 Ti

Sli is definitely not the solution, you introduce more opportunity for this type of problem. I agree with above, this could be something other than gpu.

SLI is dead. live with it.

Modern GPU's are so powerfull these days there should be no reason to use SLI or crossfire anymore.
