Don’t waste your flipping money on either. Neither are worth it!

Get one RTX 2080 ti and use the remaining money to buy yourself a better computer chair.

Lol this or a ton of rgb it’ll get you at least 100 more FPS 

[thedemoncowboy]

I can’t tell hm

I love overkill just as much as the next guy but SLI 2 RTX 2080Ti's is just not worth the money in any circumstance. There is no use other than maybe mining that would require that much graphics power. One RTX 2080Ti is overkill on it's own for almost every circumstance. 

 

I mean if you really like throwing away money go for the 2 RTX 2080Ti's I'd love to see the pictures and benchmarks but honestly you are better off just buying one RTX card and spending the rest on RGB or literally anything else.

What one

The RTX TITAN with custom liquid cooling.

Why aren't we talking about two Titans?

Cause that I can’t afford two sli 2080 Ti or one titan 

[star_pilot475]

I got a great idea...

 

2 Radeon VIIs in crossfire! 32gb of HBM2!

2080 Ti in NVLink/SLI (call it however you want) is better deal for the money if gaming is concerned, especially at 4k resolution.The difference in performance between the two is just too small

So one titan vs 2080 ?

What’s the rest of your system? What do you plan on playing? We can give you better details if you give us details.

Probably the Titan. 

But if you can afford Titan RTX, you can afford 2x 2080 Tis.

1. What games are you playing?
2. What resolution are you intending to play them at?
3. What refresh/frame rate are you shooting for?

Answer those and we'll go from there.  There are a lot of ignorant answers in this thread, like there are in just about every, "Hey, should I SLI...?" thread that pops up here in LTT.

1.) over watch, gta v, metro exodus, apex, battleground unlimited, bio shock, fallout 4, 

 

2.) if I can handle 4K I would like too.

 

3.) 80-150

[Mick Naughty]

I’d do the Titan. Doubt the cpu would handle a pair of cards. Given the poor results I’ve seen on people’s setups. 

 

Id rather have the two 2080’s on water though.

OK.  I've not played (nor have any interest in) either of those games.  Do they have workable SLI profiles?  Or can they be made to work with SLI?  That's more homework you have to do.  If they can't be made to work with SLI, it makes less and less sense to buy two cards vs one.

That's a pretty massive FPS range.  If you're OK with the lower end of that, a single RTX Titan will do the deed.  But if you want to push the higher end of that range, a single Titan isn't going to handle 4K like that.  You'll need a pair of 2080Ti cards assuming the games support SLI.

 

For what it's worth, I'm currently mainly playing Battlefield V in 4K/140FPS.  Most deets are set to "high" except AA, AO, and post-processing (all disabled/low).  NVidia and Dice haven't agreed on a proper SLI profile for the game, so it's locked on a single GPU unless you do some profile editing.  Which I've done.  I can keep my rig at 4K/140(ish) most times, with some dips down into the 130s from time to time.  But both cards are working to make that happen.  No way would a single card handle it.  Not even a Titan.

Hat monitor you have 

[Netwrks_]

If you have the money go for the dual 2080TI's.  You will save $100 and get way more performance.  The RTX Titan is barely better for gaming than a single RTX 2080 TI.

Never make the same mistake i made with 2x SLI 2080TI. 

 

Get a single best 2080TI (Avoid Zotac AMP at all cost) and call it a day. It performs better than a Titan RTX in gaming , just look at the plenty of comparison videos on youtube.

 

Why dont get a RTX2080 SLI (nvlink) ? Because if your intention is to get 2x 2080 to match the performance / or be better than a Titan RTX then you are wrong. If you think having a single 2080 will give u 120fps and having 2x will give you 240fps then you are wrong. A single 2080TI with OC out of the factory + additional OC to achieve 2000-2100mhz will perform better than a 2080sli without having all the headache. 

 

With Nvlink, most games are not optimised for it so you are still gonna get single GPU performance. Even if the game is optimised, you are going to deal with clock speed being throttled to the lowest, thermal, stuttering, bad scaling etc its not even worth all the trouble.

He's talking about a pair of 2080Ti cards.  Not 2080s.

You're just talking out of your backside here.  As do most folks when it comes to SLI.  If the game is "optimized" for SLI (meaning there's a profile written), then it's highly likely the game will scale pretty damned well across both cards.  Will it be a perfect 50%/50% scaling?  No.  There's almost never been a game that SLI-scales 50/50.  But will it provide higher 4K frame rate in games that support it?  Abso-fucking-lutely it will.

I got the sli rtx 2080
