Frames SLI or 2080ti

[Makato333]

I am not sure which way to go. For starters my specs are as follows
1080ti
I7 9700k
32gbs ram
970 evo
All that jazz I got alot of power right now and just looking to maximize the frames I am getting on my display.
So I got a acer predator34 in 100Hz (OC) ultrawide display running 3440x1440
With my setting cranked to high/ultra on games such as Anthem and Destiny 2
I am sitting at about 50-70 frames sometimes getting 80.
And I would ideally like  to be above 100Hz at most to all times. Is this realistic on this kind of display?
I have seen that if I went to like a 2560x1440 I would gain about 20% more frames which would put me more in range.
Is SLI really something that would give me a substantial increase in power? Or is a 2080ti going to do it.
If possible what route would you go, change the display or SLI or 2080ti?
Please help

the 2080ti will almost be certain to drive the framerate you want. however, you should be able to get the 100 with the 1080ti, as long as anti aliasing is turned down.

you can forget multi GPU setups as they don't work when you need it.

Just tried it and threw both tahitis out and put Polaris back in.

Tried:
Resident Evil 2 Remake

Division 1

AC: Odyssey

And something else I forgot.

 

Didn't work in one of them, NOTHING.

Can you list about 5-10 games you are currently playing/thinking of playing?

[Lathlaer]

I see you mentioned Anthem and Destiny 2 - I have it on good authority that Anthem will support SLI just fine (Frostbite) and that Destiny 2 also claims to support it, though some tweaks to the profile or forcing AFR2 might be necessary.

[sgloux3470]

2080Ti is about 30% more performance.  1080Ti SLI is anywhere between 50-80% in most titles that support SLI and obviously 0% in those that don't.  Depending on what you play or want to play the recommendation can be very different.

 

I don't like to recommend SLI for pushing high refresh rate though.  Your scaling can be severely limited by CPU/memory speed and AFR seems to have some extra overhead over an equivalent GPU.  

 

However since you've asked about Anthem and Destiny 2, both games will support SLI pretty well.  Anthem I believe requires you to use Nvidia Inspector to set a custom profile for now though.

I want to pick up most AAA titles that are graphically intense and play them in ultra above 100fps at least. When I dip below 60 it shows. Nothing specific but games like Anthem, Destiny 2, and witcher 3 have given me issues. I want an overall increase to my frames and not risk making a expensive bad choice here. Just the rep the 2080ti has and reviews has given me a distaste to it and i am trying to justify 1200$ for the increase at this point

I have a RTX 2080 ti rig  and a GTX 1080 ti SLI rig.

 

I am playing AC Odyssey now on the 1080 ti sli rig and it only uses one GPU. At 3440 X 1440 my average frame rate is at 63fps. Games that use both cards like Mass Effect Andromeda are in the 100s. With that rig games that use SLI at 75% usage crush the RTX 2080 ti. 

At this time I am playing no games that support SLI on that computer. Before the 418.91 driver I got flickering on some SLI games and poor frame rate. That as lasted since the RTX launch for me.

I will be replacing the 1080 tis in a few months with a RTX 2080 ti. I only went SLI because I had a 1080 ti not in use.

 

I am not expecting to average 100fps with RTX 2080 ti with the games I play. My hard to play games like AC Odyssey will be in the high 80s. But there isn't anything that can get me closer.

From the benchmarks I have seen between a 2560 and 3440 is about a 20% frame difference as well. If I wanted to save money and gain the performance... this would be the best route? Correct me if I'm wrong about that performance difference between display resolutions and or suggestions.

Hey, 

 

I was on the same boat had 1080ti as well. After researching, came to a solution that 2080ti as of now is the perfect card for 3440:1440. Waiting for it to get shipped. In most games in drives 100+ fps ultra, there are just very few that will be somewhat below 100. There are some benchmarks done of 2080ti on the mentioned resolution. SLI is a risky part and you never know which games will actually scale well, even with custom made sli profiles in most cases it is best to go with single best card.

I’d do a pair of 2080’s myself. 

 

But if you have the budget for a 2080ti, get that. That way you can look back and say you couldn’t have got anything better when it disappoints you. 

[IceCold008]

Or if you have any sort of patience wait till next gen from nvidia. You have an 1080ti like myself its a good card. 2080ti is only 25 to 35% faster depends on the game. And for SLI i used to have SLI for many years but found that when it works it works great but when it does not it sucks and bascially you will disable one of your cards. Ive found in some games "not many" having SLI enabled actually made the game run slower" It comes down to patience and money in your choice. Is it worth getting an 2080ti for that level of preformance or sticking to your guns and waiting like i am going to do. 

 

Only you can answer that.I remember having 670 SLI and waiting till the 1080ti came out and that was a massive upgrade for me. It was not due to money but due to value for money. Not many people can wait that long. And alot of people just throw money at something becuase they want the best of the best right now lol.
