if you want something shiny, get a led fan for your pc
 
Bought a second 1080 recently just before the last price hike and was almost immediately filled with regret. My case looks cramped, thermals are higher, and the performance is not dramatically better other than in benchmarks.

Still, I'm going to hold onto it in the hope that VR titles (or rather the UE4 and Unity engines) will start supporting SLI soon. VR is probably the ultimate use case for two cards.
 
Sell one and go on a massive weekend bender. On a serious note, sell one and put the money aside, wait for the next gen and sell the other and get the fastest available.
 
i would sell one, i cant be botherd with multi gpu setups anymore, support for it gets worse by the day any no sign of getting any better.
 
People have said that for 6 years.

I have used Titan X SLI since March 2015 and I'd say most games work fine with it. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to get it perfect, but look at Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for instance.

At the start we had slightly wonky DX11 SLI performance and now we have amazing DX12 SLI performance.
 
I think the whole "should I multi GPU question" is quite easy :)

1) If you are a person that runs out at buys newest and latest titles, and play them through one time or only play them through for a month a two, then getting the single most power full card is for you !

2) If you don't buy the latest titles at release and play titles that usually are a 6months to a year older, then you will have a lot of good times with SLi since the games will be patched, fixed and optimize and the scaling will be much better.

3) If you do both of the above then you get best of both "worlds".


Every single new title released always get patched and always get some kind of optimization - it's been like that since the early AGP card days. A decade ago I stopped running out buying the latest titles because I got tired of paying premium price for a buggy experience more than half the time.

Personally I've run SLi permanently since 2006 (well also before with 3Dfx SLi), and I have only seen improvements in the last 10 years. The trouble I had with SLi can be counted on less than 5 fingers.... which may also be because I've waited for the AAA titles to get patched and optimized before even bother buying them :)
