Our advice is to not use multiple GPUs wherever possible.

You're all right .. sli is not perfect but the performance is just mind blowing. I drool over the high framerates . I wish I could overlook the melting top card but I can't

Rotate your top and bottom card monthly

Sell them when the 1080Ti comes out and by that. Problem solved.. win win.

If a single 1080 can't satisfy your fps needs at 1440 then your eyes are way better than mine. Don't get me wrong, I love me some epeen too, but in the end if you're on the plus side of 80fps your not really seeing any improvement, and I've even heard arguments for 60fps.

I can see the difference upping my refresh from 60hz to 110hz, not sure if it's due to the added fps or just the higher refresh. Games move much smoother. Again, might not have anything to do with fps. Just what I'm seeing.
But I'm using a 1070 at 1440p 110hz refresh. A 1080 would be perfect for some very intense moments, but the 1070 still holds its own.

it depends on what I'm playing. if it's a first person shooter i need more than 80 fps to not have a headache from motion sickness. maybe my eyes are too fast for my pc lolol )
and even a titan x struggles running gta v maxed on 1440p with all the settings cranked to the max. including at least 4xaa which is a standard for me.

I would like a moment to correct myself and admit I may be wrong on my fps findings.

I've only gamed at 1080 and less. For me I've never noticed any improvement over 80ish fps. However as a student of this craft I decided to read more into this. Below is linked a very good article on the 60fps myth. The poster explains logically the differences between resolution and refresh and how it affects the perceived fps. This is something I never needed to understand as I progressed from 1024 @60hz to 1080 @ 120hz. I just new it was better.

At any rate, I admit that my previous information is not fully correct, though in my scenario it's true. It's a good read. Please enjoy.

Well, this:
The only proof you need is to go to an electronics store and watch a TV with high hz/FPS. The difference is so astounding that the super high refresh rate TV's look unnatural or even uncomfortably smooth and clean. Like looking through a window instead of into a monitor. So yes, you most definitely can see a difference. I know I sure can, and if I can I'm sure almost anyone can.

Edit: nerfed the hyperbole

Is funny: the guy can see more FPS than the what the TV channel broadcasts... NTSC is what, 30 FPS?

This one is interesting as well:

or look at a spinning computer fan and at what rpm you stop seeing moving blades and you start seeing a blur . but instead of rpm do rps . I guess that's a way to calculate how much fps your eye can see .
