I thought this was a total waste
What are your thought on this?

My friend who games at 1080p has just installed his second 780ti.
Surely one card would max everything out with room to spare?
 
Well, it's not what I would do, but here I'm assuming that he wants a specific minimum fps 'in all titles / mods', such as 60. It does seem to be a common drive or objective among some gamers, which is fair enough.

Nope. Seems alright to me. I'd do the same if i had the money given the fact i play @ 120hz.
 
Depending on what games he's playing really.

Games like Crysis 3 or other new demand future titles it is probably not ridiculous; but if his main games were mmos or Arma which a single GTX780Ti can already heavily bottleneck by the CPU then yes it would be ridiculous.
 
If you only have 1 GPU in your PC, then your PC is unbalanced and the Feng Shui of the case interior is all wrong. You will also find that because you only have the internals anchored by the motherboard standoffs and the PCI slot screws of one GPU, gravitational forces will, over time, cause your motherboard to warp and eventually break.

By simply adding a second graphics card, you add another two PCI slot screws which alters the fulcrum of the forces within the case and ensures that everything in your PC is balanced and so cannot now break. You will also find that the correction of your PC's Feng Shui will account for at least an additional 25% in FPS, and at least a 50% reduction in BSODs.

It's a well known fact that you can increase the effectiveness of a soldier in combat simply by pairing him up with another soldier. GPUs work along the same lines.

GPUs are also highly powered, gorgeous and desirable things. We all know from the world of dating that gorgeous and desirable tends to mean emotional and fragile, which is why a single GPU can often be found quietly crying to itself in the middle of the night.

These are all reasons why I firmly believe that graphics cards should always be used in pairs, and I salute the OPs friend for being sensible enough to forego any kind of logical or fiscal reasoning and get another 780ti to keep his existing one company.
