An interesting observation at 1080 there isn't that much difference between the 70 sli and 80 sli, I know this is a bad word but are they getting bottlenecked by the system when running in 1080?

Always good to see the multi GPU reviews.

I have linked to it in the owners thread over at OCUK.

SLI MSI Gaming Xs do look good together.

Oh god no dude, just some games not really utilising them very well.

Well as the owner of a 970SLI rig for the last two years I can't praise enough my experience with a dual card setup.

All the games I play work flawlessly with it (BF4, GTV V, W3,Project Cars) enabling all of them to run at a solid 60fps with maxed out settings at resolutions up to 1440p, and they are all playable to a locked 30fps at 4K.

Two 970's are still good enough to this day, so much so that I can easily skip this first generation of Pascal cards, as the only card with any sort of performance gain over 970SLI is the 1080, which is only about 25-30% faster, so not really worth it IMO.

If anyone is unsure of 1070SLI, I'd say go for it, they will easily give you 2-3years worth of 60fps, maxed out gameplay.

Watching this as I have the same 2 cards going in my H440 redux build. Both with water blocks
