Replace my SLI set up with a single card solution.

So forgetting the non availability what (if any) single card solution would offer a noticeable improvement over my current Sli system as per sig.

6950X Sli Titan x (Pascal) 32gb DDR 3200mhz

Why, well its 4.5 years old and I want to build a new water cooled rig, I might even go new CPU and new mobo and I am not beholden to team red or green I've flipped between the two over the last 25 years.

New CPU and mobo might mean the 6950x goes under the the old promi mkII (if you know then you know) sat under the desk just for a laugh but that's another story.
 
The problem I am having with Sli is that every few weeks something updates and makes Nvidia Control Panel inoperative, I'm not sure if its a Windows update or quite what but its a pain and never easy to get it back, if you just download and reinstall it wont work. I have to uninstall everything Nvidia related and start as if its a new installation of my gfx cards.
I don't see this getting any better now Nvidia have scrapped Sli support.
The system play everything really well on 1440 Ultra settings even MSFS2020 (apart from New York type scenarios) I'm in no desperate rush but as and when want to revert to a single card, hence the question what current single card (if indeed there is one) will give a noticeable improvement, I realize I might have to wait for the next generation of cards before that card exists, after all my single card Time Spy score is still around 200th on the benchmark leader board.
 
I’ve not tried Nvidia Inspector so will give it a go.
The way Nvidia Control Panel fails is odd, for example one day play WoW maxed out in 1440 then the next launch the game it’s chronically slow hardly responding go into Nvidia CP and it won’t launch, go into Device manager and only one gfx card appears on the tree.
