You're wasting $1000+ on this setup.  SLI is basically dead at this point.  Any number of flight sim add-on vendors do not support it, and any future update could break it.  Nvidia themselves barely support it anymore.  

I need massive GPU horsepower. PC will be outputting to 3 4k projectors.

Would a single RTX Titan be a better choice?

In all likelihood.  You may want to try out a 2080 Ti first and see if 11GB VRAM is sufficient.

I will talk to my superiors and try all three configurations. RTX Titan, RTX 2080ti Nvlink, RTX2080ti OC

How well does the GDDR6 OC on the cards with Samsung BGAs?  What's the part number?

2100mhz , but cooler then the micron , partnumber is black nothing think its kind of ES chips from samsung

The part number isn't silk-screened on the BGAs?  Interesting.  I wonder if Galax did that on purpose.

There's a rumor of RTX cards with higher clocked GDDR6 releasing when Navi is announced, likely these would use Samsung ICs so I wonder if Galax has gotten ahold of some Samsung GDDR6 in advance of this move, or if they went behind NV's back and sourced it themselves.

This "Bottleneck calculator" is dubious at best.. if you overclock your CPU the calculator does not apply..

 

Overclocking is in the advanced section at the bottom. But yes, I agree, dubious.
