Sli gtx 980 ti

I'm using a oculus rift cv1. And sli gtx 980 ti. Would selling them and getting a high end 1080 be better for fps. My monitor is acre z35 2560x1080 200 htz

In VR SLI isn't too beneficial but for everything else the 980tis you have will be faster.
I run a single 980ti and have no issue running anything in VR at max detail.

Wait for the 1080Ti. Don't bother with SLI for VR yet - only a handful of VR titles actually use it.

I'd hang on to the 980ti's and wait for the 1080ti personally.

Echoing what others have said SLI is a waste of money at the moment.

Loads of stuff in the works to make it viable for VR but I'd be willing to bet you'd be looking at 1080ti's in SLI before it happens.

I have 2 x 980Ti's and as ther others have said it's largely useless in VR. I've actually had to disable it entirely for certain games like project cars where it causes severe ghosting.

Shame, the NVidia VR works stuff where one card can do each eye sounds eyedeal (gettit?!?) but I don't expect to see it any time soon. In the mean time though a single hydrocopper 980ti boosting to a little over 1500mhz seems to be handling VR pretty well, especially since the ASW was implemented.

I would echo what the others are saying - at the very least wait for the 1080ti, and perhaps it's even worth waiting for the next generation unless you absolutely must have the latest and greatest. The 980Ti will serve you ok for a while yet, and if they do ever get off their arses and start using SLI VR properly then the pair will sing.
