I don't think its worth it at all. You'll be better off getting a 1080ti. Its about on par (maybe 5-10% slower in games with good sli scaling) with the Maxwell titan x's, plus won't give the headaches usually associated with SLI builds. Also, the card is cheaper than what you are paying for both the titan xs plus you save money on not having to upgrade your PSU. So its a win-win really.
 
wait a moment! 2x Titan Xs Maxwell for 650 GBP?
2 of them in total for 650 GBP? or only 1 for 650 GBP?
or is it 250 GBP each?
I am a bit confused here.
Care to post the link?
If the Titan X Maxwell cost you 650 GBP each, ditch this offer and go for GTX1080Ti or wait for RX Vega.
If it is 650 GBP total (2 of them a.k.a. 325 GBP each) or even 250 GBP each, they are still worth the price.

TBH vega frontier will not be that much (if at all) faster than the 1080Ti to justify the price. For the consumer Vega GPUs, you'll have to wait a few more months. But then again, at that time, Volta will be just around the corner. There's always something new coming up.
So if you are having the upgrade itch, I'd say pull the trigger on a 1080 Ti.

Doesn't matter, even if it is two cards, its still worse than getting a single 1080 Ti for that price.

The GPU prices just went skyrocketing due to those ether miners.
With 325 GBP, you can not even get a GTX1070.
It is a bit difficult for the moment to judge.
 

By the time the auction ends, it will not be on 300 GBP man!

it has been on for like 3 weeks now
and i did say i expected about 600

 

hmmm...since 3 weeks? that is one of an auction time span.
That is a bit strange in my opinion, but I am in general an ebay skeptical.
