Yup all comes down to games to be honest I think as mentioned in my earlier comment. With games I play SLI Scales reasonably well and for most the part feels buttery smooth paired with a G-Sync monitor and allows higher eye candy then what one 1080Ti can do, so for myself while I did not pick up multiple GPU's for SLI in general, does work well when I do game. On the other hand, play those games where SLI does not work when you need the horsepower the downside's become apparent quickly.

I recently upgraded from a GTX 980 SLI setup to a single GTX 1080ti.
TBH I didnt have much of an issue with SLI and I was able to see an improvement or force an improvement via nv inspector on MOST of the games that I had. The improvement was also pretty good.
The issue I had was with the 4GB limitation I had with the card, it just seemed to hold me back on the resolution that I game at.

The GTX 1080ti chews up everything that I throw at it with ease.
Once I manage to get my 980s back to the UK sometimes in August expect to see them on the members market.

I have had sli with the 680, 780, 980 and 1080 series cards. I have just ordered a 1080ti to replace my 1080's as the support for sli is so bad imo. This is the first time I am going to be running just the one card in years. I feel like nvidia don't really care about sli anymore.
It isn't so much nVidia modern APIs aren't very compatible with mGPU hence the development of explicit multi adaptor.
