In a single monitor build, the card should run 40+ fps in everything, with everything enabled besides anti-aliasing, which 4k monitors don't need, may require few other settings down to hit 60fps consistently

Forgot to put these in first post, and taken before I got the HB Bridge,

CaseousNecrosisWhen I had the card, one was enough to hit 50-60+ FPS in any game at 4k I tried with max settings on everything except for Multisample Anti-Aliasing. Regular Post-Process Anti-Aliasing is completely fine maxed out though.

CaseousNecrosisNvidia had said like almost a month ago that they'll no longer support sli, so why get two of them?

Boo17Nvidia has stated that it will no longer support 3 way and 4 way SLI with in game profiles, however it will still allow 3 and 4 way for bench marking on the old bridges,

CaseousNecrosisExcept the whole reason why they're even getting rid of SLI is because it only marginally improves performance. Getting two 1080 MSI Seahawk Xs is just unnecessary overkill.

Boo17If you have anything more than a 1080p screen it could actually be worth it, I can only get about 35 FPS on my 3440x1440 monitor which isn't that great. That's only true for a select few games, but it's the games I like to play the most. You're right that it's probably not worth it, but that's just my experience.

CaseousNecrosisI run a single 1080 on a 3440x1440 monitor and have no issues with 60fps on ultra settings, except AA I will adjust that anywhere from off to max, on almost anything I play. The card is running at 2156mhz core and 11000mhz on memory and paired with a 5960x at 4.8Ghz. While I would like to get a second 1080 I can't justify it.

CaseousNecrosisYou should have way more than 40fps with 2 gtx 1080s... I max everything on a 2k monitor with a Asus Strix OC gtx 980 ti and I have usually 100-160 fps..

Kiiddoa 2k screen assuming its 2048x1080, that is 2.2 million pixels, a 4k screen 3840x2160 is 8.3 million.... 3.7 times the pixels...

CaseousNecrosis2k is 1440.. and thats still with a single graphics card that gets 20 less fps than a single gtx 1080 and you have 2 of them in SLI config with water cooling which I do not.. If you listen to everyone on this thread there is something wrong with only getting 40 fps.. look at any gtx 1080 benchmarks and even in 4k with all settings maxed they get way higher than 40fps and thats with a single one not dual in SLI

CaseousNecrosiseven a single should get more than 40 fps no? I haven't found a game yet that my card has under 60 fps in with max settings on 1440p.. and that's probably on more of the CPU intensive games so I think my i5-6600k holds it back even tho I'm running my last generation 980ti.. I haven't seen any 1080 benchmarks yet where one has only ran around 40 fps. Also I run all my games on max setting with a higher resolution of 4k and have no problems hitting 100-165 in like 90-95% of games.. Idk it just seems odd a 1080 would struggle like that? I don't think jumping from 2k to 4k with a much better card should minus you 60-120 fps..

KiiddoIt's true about the scaling being absolutely terrible with SLI, but I think you underestimate the horsepower required for smooth gameplay at 4k with max settings vs 2k. There aren't many GPU configurations out there that can play every single title at 4k with maxed settings and average close to 60 fps, let alone a single card. A 1080 and the new Titan are basically it for a single card 4k solution. Most benchmarks are averages and don't always list minimum frame rate, I've seen 1080's drop into the 40's in Crysis 3 and The Witcher 3 as a couple examples. All that being said, I wouldn't bother with SLI at this point. You'd be better off buying a Titan instead of two of these.
