SLI 1080 vs Quadfire Fury x vs Titan x Pascal

[Klasyer]

As seen the SLI is on the way out, and 3/4 sli in no longer an option.
I'm having a dilemma about what GPU setup i should get.
i got already an i7 5960x and 1350w platinum power supply and a xfx 295x2 (which is not available anymore, especially in my county)

a titan x pascal costs 1200$(cant find anything lower), the 1080 sli is around 1400$ and so is the quadfire fury x (8 gb).
The titan x does leave a place to be able to put another one later.

looking threw a pretty big amount of benchmarks, it sums up to:
2 X 1080 = 1 pascal
4 x fury = 1.5 - 2 pascals

am i wrong? am i right? any suggestions?
maybe some other ideas?

regardless SLI or CF going beyond 2 way usually did not return big gain. AMD despite they still support tri or quad fire setup the problem is they also often very late with their crossfire profiles making the investment going three or four card does not worth it. scaling past 2 cards are not guaranteed either. and that still not considering CPU bottleneck. one of the reason why nvidia dropping 3 way and 4 way SLI was CPU bottleneck. we can still see major performance gain going from one architecture to next but for CPU the performance improvement have been slowing down since sandy bridge generation to the point CPU no longer able to keep up with GPU improvement. the most logical option right now is either 1070SLI or 1080SLI.

because of diminishing returns after 2 cards, and lack of support, sli 1080's would always be the better option IMO



wait for the 1080 ti
