Why lol. I'd go 2080 ti to replace it. But unless you're playing 4k I doubt you will notice much of a real world difference in games going from a 1080 ti to a 2080 ti (I say as someone who went the opposite way).

Soldato
having owned 2 2080's when they released from nvidia and i can say if running benchmarks they are phenominal for the price of 1 2080ti they pack so much punch its unreal, i game at 1440p but using dsr 4k res i was hit with problem after problems gettings games stable with 2 cards, not to mention the power draw which was eye watering to see at stages.
came to my sensies and sold both to make way for a 2080ti which although slower than 2 in benchmarks, it's a hell of a lot better power consumption wise and no crashes to mention regarding the single gpu, frame rates are lower but at over 100 fps ultra at 1440p i'm happy enough.
you want my honest advice stump up the 1300ish quid and opt for a 3rd party solution, nvidias founders cards are good but for a little more cash you can get cards that cool a lot better and are around £150-£300 more than nvidias founders card

If the 1080ti is already sold then I would go for the 2080ti - Kap knows his stuff on sli and the 8 gig ram is going to be a problem.
If you really want to mGPU the Vega VII would be capable with it's 16GB of HBM - but I think Crossfire support is even worse than SLI?
The Palit at 989 or the Zotac at 1099 are also significantly cheaper than 1300.

Bottom line: get the card with the longest warranty (hint: not palit)
This^. It's all fun and games with SLI until you arrive at a title where you need the grunt of both cards, but SLI simply isn't supported. It happened to me with 2x GTX 970s in SLI when Rise of The Tomb Raider hit. It was a ludicrous amount of time before they patched SLI support in, like 9 months or something, by which time I'd staggered through the game with one card. There was a botched user work around allowing SLI in exchange for visual artefacts/weirdness along with excessive microstutter, but personally I came to the conclusion that 40 fps on one card was far better than 60+ fps on two with constant horrible glitching.
