Question About SLI Cards

Hello guys, i a have question about the 1080Ti video cards FE. Well i do have a Asus Gtx 1080Ti FE and planning to Sli it because the second hand market of the 1080ti is dropping and so here is my question will my Asus Gtx 1080Ti FE work on a SLI with the EVGA Gtx 1080Ti FE?

 

My current build:
Motherboard : Asus x99 deluxe II
Processor : Intel i7 6800k
CPU Cooling : Corsair h115i
RAM: Corsair dominator 64gb
GPU: Asus Gtx 1080 Ti FE 
Case : Corsair air 740
PSU: Corsair ax1200i
SSD: Corsair MP500 M.2 120GB (OS)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2tb (RAID 1 Configuration)

As long as the GPU is the same, SLI will work. But the clock speed will be limited to the slowest card.

Don't do SLI

Just don't.

 

It's a waste of money, especially on the 10 series cards.

 

Barely any games support it so the performance gain isn't worth the pretty penny

Yes because they are both founders editions of the same GPU. Is it worth doing? Everyone has their own opinion. Some say a single card is always better optimized than multiple cards, but then the only option for a faster single card is the 2080ti which is priced insanely high.

I'd stay conservative on that, back in 9 series times EVGA blocked SLI with cards of the same GPU but different models.

Common questions for SLI answered:
No you can not run 2 different GPU's together (i.e. 980+980ti)
No you can not run 2 different cards with different amount of memory (i.e. 4GB Card+6GB card)
Yes you can mix manufactures for the same GPU together (MSI+Asus)
Yes you can sli 2 cards with different clock speeds that are the same GPU
Yes you can see better performance

Support for SLI isn't the greatest either and some manufactures are a little weird about SLI sometimes.
