8700k (upgrade from 7600k) or SLI my current 1080ti ?

 

[Kostas Lyt]

8700k for 2 reasons; the extra 1080ti will probably bottleneck your current cpu and it is obviously a better cpu (the 8700k

 

[Ben Stopp]

8700k will give you more performance, another 1080ti will just use more power...

 

[Damjan Petrusevski]

Go for the 8700k its a better cpu

 

[Richard Sanders]

SLI and Crossfire has basically been ditched by NV and AMD, your be lucky to find many future games that work with them well

 

[Joe Robey]

Well do you need more computational power or more graphical power :/ it's really not for anyone else to say. Personally i'd get 2x 1080Ti and a 6700k/7700k

 

[Chris Steezmour-Fussell]

I wouldn't invest in another gpu, sli is being phased out. Few new games actually support it. Not worth the $700-800usd price tag, would be worth it to take that money and get the 8700k and new mobo

Question i have is then who do I see so many SLI rigs? If its not worth it?

 

[Tim Jelinek]

People SLI because they can, it doesn't help very much anymore and some games actually see less frames with 2 cards. I have 2 1080tis in my PC and I disabled SLI because it was a pain in the ass. The second card is just for mining now

Just jump up to the 7700k

Without sli
