Would a 1080 Ti SLI-setup be working well on my system without any bottlenecking?
I have my i7-4790K OC'd with both core and caches at 4,50 GHz. I am on a 4K monitor at 2560x1440p. I always run my games on ultra.
Also, my cards would be running at x8 x8 on my current system.
In the future (3 months from now or so) I am planning on upgrading my CPU to the i9-7980XE - 36 threads / 2,60GHz / 24,75MB
and I am going to upgrade my mobo to an ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme - E-ATX / X299 so my cards would be running at x16 x16 then.
Just right now before the upgrade, is it even worth trying two of those GFX cards in SLI?

I ran 2 1080’s with a 4790 and experienced no bottleneck at all. You should be fine. Especially when you upgrade to the 7980x, you will see what your cards are made of since they will be running at optimal. [emoji106]

Thanks... all I wanted to know. I'll be starting out playing around with SLI on this 3 year old system before going for the full upgrade this spring and then probably make a benchmark comparison, both systems included :cool:

Just out of curiosity, I have to ask... how much more FPS did you get with your SLI-setup together with that 4790K in comparison with running a single card? Right now I am maxing at 150 FPS on Battlefield 1 just running single - so can I expect up to 170 or 180 FPS maxing on SLI with the 4790K?

It wasn’t that big of a jump. Main part i see it in is when i render video in hd or 4k. Thats when the second card helps out. But on average in gaming, maybe 15% increase.

Ah, ok 🙂 Well, that's good though. I love to stream and render my 4K gaming videos in Cyberlink Power Director and know exactly how long it takes sometimes. I have my YouTube channel here btw for an example with my card together with my CPU as it runs today: https://www.youtube.com/user/lDFlX?disable_polymer=true
