Thanks for the info. I will switch the primary drive and eliminate the overclocks. Is there an advantage to keeping the SLI for PC games that support it? I appreciate the help.

IMO, the 1080 Ti is such a powerful card you would not see any return on that investment for the forseeable future, if ever. Again, IMO, SLI was useful when cards were limited in their onboard RAM and speed, and you really needed an assist from a second card to optimize a high-end experience.

Multiple card set-ups, however, never doubled output: might give you a 60% additional boost if you were lucky. Many games (if not most) would not even recognize the second card at all. The 1080Ti comes with 11GB (!) of GDDR5X and will power anything you you want to throw it at. Alone, it's more powerful than dual 980 Ti's, last cycle's top cards. Just looking to maybe save you $980!

I don't think you'll ever second guess that. Now you have $980 to put toward a next gen card when you think you need it!
