What is better

[idkAnyThingAboutCompurters]

I have enough 4 1 or the other but idk what is better and ik there is already a topic on this but i just want a solid answer (e.g get the 1080) coz telling way 1 is better than the other goes over my head

 

Thank you

What do you need it for? A 1070 in SLI gives better performance but at the same time more trouble

[The Sloth]

sli is not bad, also looks cooler but will be more expensive and might not work well with all setups.

What's your processor? 

[Enderman]

Two 1070s will perform better in games that support multi-GPU.

Unless you only play a few games that do support that, I would recommend a 1080 to get better performance in all the other games that don't support that and also not have to deal with SLI issues.

For gaming, I would say just get a 1080 (Ti)

If you're gonna do some crazy shite with some complex software which needs more CUDA, go for the SLI

Also, depends on CPU. Using a potato CPU with either won't help

two 1070's will have better performance for games that support SLI and scale well with it.

but a single 1080 will beat the 2 1070's in games that aren't optimized for SLI, and it'll be cheaper than 2x 1070's

but also 2x 1070's would look cooler(imo) than a single 1080.

It does depend on processor and all too, if you are making a game exclusive rig the single gtx 1080 in a b250 plus the i7 7700 locked would be the best value, the sli 1070 is if you are into spending more with unlocked cpu and a motherboard that supports the sli.

What games are you playing and at what resolution?
