Depends on resolutions but:
Something like a total of 14 1080p displays with Displayport Splitters.
Or only 4 without spiltters. (one of the HDMI and DVI ports are linked, so you have to use one or the other)

the 2nd SLI'd card doesn't provide extra ports.

Also SLI is a dying/unsupported feature, so you're largely wasting your money.

The GTX 1080 ti only supports 4 monitors per card. if your running in sli you can only have 4 monitors. If you run the cards separate then you can have 8 monitors.

You can split a displayport 1.2 (or above) up to 4 times at 1080p, 5 at less res, and less as you increase resolutions.

So each screen will show something different?
