Hello guys!

So I want to buy an ultrawide monitor but here is the problem: In my cart, I have two GTX 1080. I am at 4300/5000$ CAD so there isn't enough space to put an ultrawide monitor. To be able to buy an ultrawide monitor, i would need to do a GTX 1070 SLI. So here are the two options: buy a 4k monitor and keep the two GTX 1080, or buy an ultrawide monitor but with GTX 1070 in SLI.

why 2 1080 is much more expensive

It's the exact same price in Canadian dollar

 

Edit: sorry, miscalculated. I would save 300$, but this not enough for an ultrawide
