Just posting for a mate.
He's got a 1080 Strix and has just bought a 4k monitor. upgrade from a 1080/1200
Question is would it be better to have two 1080s or sell the 1080 and buy a 1080TI
He's not looking for RTX at the moment because he plays Dest 2. and Anthem when it comes out.
With thanks

Depends. Do the games he plays support SLI?
Generally is better to sell the 1080 and buy a 1080Ti, as SLI support these days is worse than CF, by miles.

I don't understand the need to still push for a TI over let's say a 2080... Surely there no cheaper now ? Havnt looked as not in the market for one but it seems counter intuitive when you can get a 2080 for 650ish

SLI isn't normally worth it anymore unless the game/application you want to run benefits. From a gaming point of view, minimum frame rate is important, and a 1080Ti will more often than not beat a pair of 1080s in that regard.
