[ki8aras]

i noticed that gtx 1070's are very cheap on ebay(about 200 euros) 

my question is if its even worth it(i already have a hb bridge)

No, buy one single faster card.

Do you have a motherboard that supports SLI?

 

Do you have a good enough PSU for SLI?

 

All in all SLI is usually not worth it, but it depends on the games, a lot of games loses performance with SLI, some gains nothing and others will indeed offer gains, it's all about if you'll play what benefits from it.

To buy one GTX 1070? Sure. Brand new they're what, 350 euro? 200 euro is a fair deal.
To buy two GTX 1070s for SLI? No. SLI isn't worth it, especially on 'low end' cards. You're better off buying a more powerful single card.

No, probably not.

A single GTX 1070 should hold up well at 1440p in Overwatch, CSGO, GTA, Civilization. Not sure about The Division 2, you may need to turn some settings down to medium for that one as I think it's pretty graphically intensive.

Depends on what you want to do with them.

If your workflow doesn't require it, then I'd suggest a single powerful card.

yeah so sli is a no-go

The Division 2 does not support SLI, Overwatch and CS:GO should run 144fps without it, Civilization doesn't support SLI, GTA is the only game here that'd benefit from SLI but keep in mind the engine is limited to 170fps ish.
