Need help on whether ski will work

[Dynamicace]

So as title says I need help deciding if my cards will SLI. I just happen to have a spare 1080ti MSI gaming x sitting in a dresser drawer. My gaming computer has a EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 HYBRID. I’ve heard evga uses custom PCBs and can’t SLI with any other brand. My question is would these 2 1080ti cards work in sli. Any use in having 2 in a computer at all for running something?? Like back in the day it was good to have a spare card do the physx stuff. 
 

hate to waste money on a bridge. 
 

will probably sell one if they don’t work.

likely more trouble than its worth. sell it now while it is still worth something. You can buy shares in an index fund for what you will get for it. Markets are low right now so you will make money as opposed to losing value on something you keep in your drawer.

I’m hoping to get them to work. I won’t upgrade again until the 4080ti comes out in about 2 years. I play 4k max setting and there are a couple games I have to lower to high setting for just 45-50fps cough cough assassins creed syndicate. Can’t get 60fps unless I go to full medium, like I tried to lower shadows from high and it gained 1fps lower bloom 1fps, like that game is hard on the 1080ti. Plus I’m sure more games in the next 2 years will be tough. Haven’t checked but the newer assassins creed games are probably worse. 
 

don’t get me wrong the 1080ti is amazing mine never even hits 60 degrees with an overclock but I would love like 25% more power.

What do you mean 2 years? 
If nVidia runs on valve time we’d be lucky to get the 4080 series by the end of this decade.

3080ti is coming/ is out. 2080ti was about 2 years ago and 1080ti I think was less than 2 before that. So I figure about a 2 years timeline for 4080ti or and has really been digging in and jumping in power. So maybe a RDNA 3 series card would kick the 4080 ti.
