That is why I initially went with dual 1080ti's first. I was very happy with the increase in performance but there are way to many downsides to SLI and I abandoned it quite quickly. So I decided to go the 2080ti route just to avoid the SLI issues and really wasn't expecting much increase over my single 1080ti. But I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have and data to back it up but Rob A did some pretty in depth testing not to long ago. But I don't know if he did a direct 1080ti to 2080ti comparison. Matt, could you elaborate more on why you decided not to use SLI anymore? What were the downsides? I currently have the 1080Ti (single) and was thinking of going SLI again (used to have 980Ti SLI) but it was always a hit or miss because of Nvidia drivers. I may just get the 2080Ti Thanks in advance Francisco Blas Windows 11 Pro | X-Plane 12 | ASUS Hero Z790 | Intel i9-13900K | G.SKILL 64GB DDR5 | ASUS STRIX 4090 | WD 4TB SN850X NVMe | ASUS Ryujin II AIO 360mm | Corsair AX1600i | Lian Li 011D EVO | DELL Alienware 38 G-SYNC

I had constant sound static issues, Realight was a flickering nightmare, and the top card ran extremely hot. Take my advice and avoid SLI. Trust me Matt Wilson

Trust me You're right about finding the right drivers, I had almost the same issues regarding flickering. It seems SLI works for some but not for me, probably something I missed in the settings. Looking for a 2080Ti now. Thanks.

I troubleshot for two days straight trying to resolve my issues with no success. Matt Wilson

When I decided to do SLI with my 980Ti's, I was disheartened with the performance I got. I didn't see the smoothness some were getting (I actually loss some FPS too) but I think it was a driver issue, everyone's system is different. I thought things would be different now.

December 30, 20187 yr Author Hey guys, I have not made any tests so far, but from my feelings the performance increased a lot. I am now able to turn on Dynamic Lightning, all Shadows and reflections and with a PMDG 747, Megaairport Frankfurt, UT Live and 4k resolution I am getting around 38 fps. Thanks for your help Regards Marco

Thanks for your help Regards Marco Hi Marco, that means the upgrade from 1080Ti to the 2080Ti was meant to do what it was intended to do. Perhaps a small increase in FPS but more importantly being able to slide those settings up a notch or two. Congrats!

It is a truly nice feeling when you make a hardware change that gives you much better performance. Happy New Year!
