No everything maxed out with hairworks. 

 

 

Edit: he's not using hairworks however. With it on I'm still in the 90's to 100's for fps. Either way a single 2080 will never be able to do this.

but won't it do 3/4 of that with 1/2 the power consumption?

Idk I don't care about power consumption. If that's your worry sli isn't for you.

watts are also a measure of heat output too. GPU's can put a lot of heat into your room.

 

nothing worse than playing a game for an hour or so, then going to bed afterwards. In your now hot room.

It never gets that hot for me just normal temps with slightly hotter top card temps. Room never gets hotter

just saying. We are moving forward... performance per watt is getting better.

 

we can't just have 500 watt GPU's. they need to be made more efficient to be improved overall. It's kind of a choice thing... do you want less power, same performance, or same power and better performance.

Basically all it comes down to. While your 2 1080ti's are great, they will consume more power than 1 1180/2080/whatever it'll be whilst only being 25% better. To some that matters, to some it does not. But im sure the next gen after will improve on this further and you'll feel like you need to move up. Because what if your 2 1080ti's are = 1 whatever that card will be? same performance, half the power. Just nice. And no SLI-compatibility-with-all-ma-games problem.

Nah these cards are pretty efficient tbh. I don't run into problems with cooling or heat in my room. Only time that was a issue was with my water cooled Titan X's.

Oh look BF1 scales with SLI and they found "0%" in their review. 

 

I'm guessing they tested with unstable cards where SLI disengages when the cards have a soft-crash.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Same  with The Division actually scaling vs. "0%" again in that trash piece:

Misanthrope is the least reliable source for information on this forum that I've seen in a long time. I take anything he says with a grain of salt and usually is just wrong or uses bad sources.
