Upgrade now or wait?

Yo yo yo,

I'm currently running a pair of 980tis in SLI and gaming at 1440p, unfortunately with the dwindling amount of support for SLI I'm looking at upgrading to a single powerful card.

My question is do I sell the 980tis whilst I can still get a few quid for them and bite the bullet for a 2080ti, it's expensive but it should last a good few years, or wait to see what else is coming through by the end of the year?

Another idea I had was to get a pair of 2070 Super in SLI, just in case something in the industry changes with NVLink, but I'll be no better off if it doesn't!

As it stands a 2080ti costs roughly the same as my 980ti setup did nearly 5 years ago, I've kept it longer as it was expensive but I was happy to spend the money because I knew it'd run everything I wanted at decent speeds and with everything looking lovely. I would like to upgrade but whatever I get next has to be better in all areas and really has to last 4/5 years. If there's likely to be something new out within the next 12 months that'll either be better bang for buck than the 2080ti or as a result means that they'll drop the prices, I'll happily wait for that.

due to the inability of nvidia to deliver a
decent 20x0 series card a nice used 1080ti custom won’t lose much if you buy once the 2080S has launched fully.

I think it will hinge on the 2080 Super, if it could undercut the 2080ti much like the 980ti did with the Titan X then I'd probably, maybe, possibly go with one of them. Could save me 5/600 quid to go towards my next PC.
