What I don't understand is...

Why not overclock your card? If it runs only at 1755 MHz at load, you should be able to get a bump in FPS simply by pushing frequencies bit more.

Ex-EX build: Liquidfy C+... R.I.P.

Ex-build:

Meshify C – sold

Ryzen 5 1600x @4.0 GHz/1.4V – sold

Gigabyte X370 Aorus Gaming K7 – sold

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB @3200 Mhz – sold

Alpenfoehn Brocken 3 Black Edition – it's somewhere

Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse – ded

Intel SSD 660p 1TB – sold

be Quiet! Straight Power 11 750w – sold

Total war even had an announcement how TSAA would prevent adding SLI-Crossfire support... if this trend will follow... 
( clueless about the impact sli can have on design or other graphic hungry programs )

These posts are always funny to me to read. (If not depressing.)

It's crazy to think that the top of the line consumer gear is barely able to pull off the games currently available in the uber settings modes. 

 

Granted I've got a $750 build at 1080p...

I don't really want to risk crashes.

 

If SLi is a quick way to get 25-50% more frames then its worth it to me.

You have about the same risk of crashing with SLI

Whenever I’ve bumped up my CPU a few MHz or my GPU - it becomes very unstable. 

 

That’s why I have a factory overclock of 1755 on my Ti and it works well with no issues whatsoever.
