a 3080 is quite similar in performance to 1080 ti SLI.

I mean, it's difficult to say what GPU is equivalent to SLI 1080 ti's, because SLI scaling was always highly variable from game to game, and it just plain doesn't work at all in most games now and isn't going to work in any future ones.

 

The 3080 ti and 6950 XT are about 200% of the performance of a single 1080 ti according to TechPowerUp's relative averages. Of course, SLI 1080 ti's would never give you twice the performance of a single 1080 ti even in games where SLI worked. 

 

SLI 1080 ti's is totally pointless for gaming now. If you have such a setup and want to upgrade, you should basically be comparing the performance of new cards to a single 1080 ti, because the performance of a single 1080 ti is all you're ever going to get. My personal rule of thumb is that a new card needs to be at last 30-40% stronger than the old one for the upgrade to be worthwhile.
