Does anyone know where i could find a trustworthy rtx 2080 founders edition to run nvlink?    i have been planning on doing it for a while, but now that the super versions have come out they are more expensive and harder to find.  running on hard times with baby almost here to join the family. any help would be awesome thank you!

Hey thanks guys i really appreciate it.    i didnt even think to check with best buy.   time to save up a little more. lol.    might need to update my mobo first though.   running a i5 6600k on a gigabyte z170 board.   im thinking the cpu might bottle neck 2 2080's? thoughts?

You would almost certainly hit a bottleneck depending on the game. Just a word of advice, unless you desperately need more performance right now, wait a year for Nvidia to launch their 3000 series GPUs. SLI scaling is worse than it has ever been, developers just don't seem to care anymore. A faster single GPU would be a much smarter investment.
