Posted June 9, 2020 So,basically I have a 1080 ti and a 1080p 75hz monitor.I am thinking of getting a 2k 144hz monitor and I wanna upgrade my gpu.I don’t want to get a 2080 ti because it is too expensive and not much of a difference so I thought of getting another used 1080 ti for about 300-400€.I heard that sli is kinda dead so is it worth the hassle?Does it even support games I wanna play like Escape from tarkov,battlefield v,rainbow six siege,red dead redemption 2?Or,should I just wait for the rtx 3000 series?Also,the cards would be really close to each other(milimeters) because they are the aorus ones.Would that make the temps skyrocket?What do you guys think?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 9, 2020 A single 1080Ti is perfectly fine for 1440p gaming, and gaming with sli is a waste of money.

Saying it's a waste of money isn't in and of itself a valid argument. The value proposition of SLI can be made.

For gaming SLI is dead and a waste of money. Very little games support it, and if they do the performance boost is minimal at best.
