Hi people, I would like your help with something. I have a gtx 1080 nvidia. i am wanting to buy another 1080 but i cant find a nvidia card anywhere anymore. So my main question is can i do sli with my current 1080 with another card? If so how do i go about it.

Has to be a GTX 1080 to SLI with your card, but brands don't matter

Why do you want a second card?

Because many of us like the performance of having 2 cards when we can take advantage of it. Why does it matter why he wants to run 2 anyway?

Pascal's SLI scaling is terrible at low resolutions with only about a 25% gain for a 1080 SLI at 1080p (discounting games that didn't scale at all) and a max of  71% gain at 4K 60Hz (again discounting non-scaling games). While the 71% at 4K sounds appealing, but this is only in games that support AFR and multiple GPUs in DX11.

What resolution are you looking at?

I'm glad you can simply regurgitate what others say with no real knowledge for yourself. Please educate yourself a bit better then return to this forum with out giving such horrible advice as you have on various threads.

Any Graphics card with a GTX 1080 chip inside can be SLI'ed with  yours. You can use any other card, but it'll look so weird.

People expect 100 percent scaling but don't apreciate the fact that it's harder for a gpu to get from 120 to 130 fps than it is from 60 to 70 

that why they scale better at 4K

came back to check my topic and seems people are getting edgy lol. I'm looking at 4 k gaming, from what i have read any other 1080 should be okay to sli with. are people 100% sure on this?
