Skwirl865 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Which way should I go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Having gone the SLI route myself in the past with dual 980ti, it is usually not all it's cracked up to be. It also doesn't work with VR at all, or DCS (at least not reliably). You are pretty much always better off having one better card than two SLI'd cards. It's likely the whole concept will die off within the next few years anyway from how it sounds. 1 Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiob Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 With a 1080ti you can all the way to 4K (with reasonable settings), I had this card for many years until just the end of last year and played DCS on a 4K TV. If you can't afford or get your hands on a 2080 ti or 3080.... It's the best option in my opinion! 2 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

It only works in games/apps that are specifically written for it. So, don't bother with it. Just get one good card instead of two lesser ones and you'll have a good experience. The 1080 Ti is substantially better than the regular 1080 and it's still very good despite being old. Graphics cards have gotten good enough these days that SLI isn't really needed anyway. If you don't mind saving and burning the cash, the RTX 3090 (if you can find one!) is supposed to be mighty kickass. Don't bother with 20X0 cards, they were expensive and not much better than the previous generation.

Seems like a decent upgrade from a 1080. definitly got my fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It's an upgrade. As long as you didn't pay to much - you should be fine. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
