SLI does not work right in BF1 or most games anymore. I had it with a 980ti matrix sli set up. It was horrid (lots of stutter, choppiness, not smooth game play). The game actually plays smoother and with high frames with SLI off.
Switched to a Titan X Pascal.
I think SLI, unfortunately is at the end of life. Nvidia does not have much of a focus on it anymore an the individual cards have so much rendering power.
