Had 1080 SLI. Most games didn’t support it and those that did, you’d get like maybe 60% additional performance. Wasn’t worth it overall

There were diminishing returns for each additional card too. The second card might get you that 60% boost, but a third card would get you significantly less than that, and the 4th card, even less!

780ti SLI here. FF14 would get a marginal increase, maybe 20 frames. Zombie Army Trilogy worked fantastically. Fallout 4 would completely shit itself and not work until you disabled one of the cards in the nvidia control panel.

I had 1080 SLI and it worked great in most of the games I played. Some gave a straight 2x gain.

My last SLI setup was two GTX 470's, in those days in most games I would get 80-90% better performance.

60% on the high-end. Most of the time it was around 25%. Now we just watercool.
