For 1080p gaming, a GTX 1060 will do the job but if you have the budget, buy the best graphics card possible. I wouldn't buy a used graphics card at this point because most of them were used for mining and their fans might be bad. Just buy a brand new GTX 1070 Ti.

 Next time before you ask something on this forum, please do a quick google search. I found the videos above in less than 10 seconds.

Don't be mad it's always ok to ask questions ^^

 

Also, SLI scales very differently across games as we know so one video might not be comprehensive.

Either get the best 10 series card you can now, or if you can afford to wait do that because the new 11 series might just drop in about 4 months, though I get that is quite some time to wait for a new gpu. so getting a 1070ti is probably the most reasonable thing rn. (or a 1060 if you maybe want to sell and upgrade once the 11 series comes out).

get the best single card solution that fits your budget, some games run the same or worse with SLI, no games run worse on a faster card

ok thanks guys think i will look for a new 1070 or 1070 ti if i can find one in my price bracket

[ZenMonkey]

The 1070 Ti is only about 5%-10% worse than a 1080, and your premium over a standard 1070 is going to be $25-50, so if you have the cash I'd recommend getting the Ti.

these are what i found on parts picker https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/TFWrxr,fVqbt6,nX98TW,CC2rxr/

and these https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/4XyxFT,4898TW,frvZxr,h9cMnQ/

all except 1 is just outside my budget but i might be able to get the cheapest 1070 ti
