Just purchased an Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme from ocuk as getting sick of some of the newer stuff having sli problems! Do you guys think this single card will be faster than my previous 2x msi 6g 980ti's in sli? thanks.

With SLI working? No chance
In games that don't support SLI it obviously will be a bit faster.

Nowhere near in games that support SLI properly. The 980ti's will be considerably faster in that situation.
really strange side grade
even a single 980 Ti overclocked isnt that much slower so no chance a single 1080 can match SLI 980 Tis
also i dont understand what SLI problems people have it either works or it doesn't
if the game is buggy with SLI then nvidia just wont enable it in the profile
if you are using NVI to force SLI profiles of stuff then you will get problems

No not even close. 980Ti SLI when working will still be a good 40%+ faster than a single 1080.
And as stated a 980Ti overclocked is about 20-30% slower on average against an overclocked 1080.
This is coming from experience.

Wont be faster in games that work with SLi, but overall, it will be better.

This is my dilema, i have 2 980ti in sli and too many games dont have support or its not great.
I have an Acer x34 3440x1440 and need all the horse power i can get, but a single card solution seems much better.

Short answer no. Long answer nooooooooooo.

Agree
980ti overclocked at 1500 is as good as 1080 at 2100+
two 980tis leave in the dust the single 1080
and could trade my 1080 @ 2164 for 2 980tis any time....

I went to an FE 1080 from Ti SLi and was more than happy with the performance
(and like you say, no SLi problems)
I've only gone 1080 SLi anmd not Titan XP because I'#m laying a big bet that DX12 games coming up with have close to 100% utilisation (see Rise of the Tomb Raider etc)

980ti SLI to 1080 SLI seems a bit of pointless change to me for x34 gaming? Negligible performance increase, and still got SLI 'issues'. 980ti SLI x34 user myself. Your money though

I went to a single FE 1080 initially, hence my opinion being worth a little something
Using the 1080 now, much better than the 980 ti's i was using before, games like hitman and total warhammer run miles better than before. Really happy with it!
Can be a myriad of potential problems - whether microstutter or you might get good average results but some areas slowdown significantly or even like ME2 where SLI worked but in some of the places where you really wanted the performance the most SLI would automatically drop out due to a post processing effect that didn't work with SLI.
Sometimes it works really well - I was quite happy with my GTX470 SLI setup overall but not really missing SLI that much at the moment - though good chance I will stick another 1070 in when the price drops to something more sane for what they are.
Yeah deffo, in certain games like witcher 3 and GTA V where SLI works great its brill, but in pretty much most of the others the micro stuttering, lack of sli support, bad sli scaling is just really annoying! switching to a powerful single card has solved every single problem i had before when having 2 980 ti's in sli.

Wait a minute you bought a 1080 with absolutely no idea how fast it was?
where did i say that? lol

For future info Dan, 1080 SLi with the nVidia HB bridge does feel a fair bit better than my Ti's were. I used to get v slight hitching in The Division but no longer do now so I'm happy as Larry!
I just have a seperate issue to solve at the moment though, but as soon as I do I'll pop a thread up with a mini review
I got the SLi setup (rather than a Titan XP) as I'm betting that DX12 will be pretty good scaling wise when it comes to mGPU (look at Rise of the Tomb Raider in DX12 for instance with the new patch, nigh-on 100%
)

^ Same . Both my cards running well and a good chunk faster than 980Ti SLI. Overall I'm happy with 1080 perf although they are soon to be swapped out with TXP's for another good increase.
Just to add in order to get the best optimisation and usage/performance in games. I had to set pcie gen 3.0 and both cards at 16x/16x.
