Anyone?

Don't think many games are even supporting SLI anymore. At least not the ones I play unless I missed the setting which is possible. Is is really worth it going from the 1070 SC I have if I stay single card to go to a 2070 of a similar version? Os is it just a waste of money? Meaning is the performance increase really worth the cost of going up to that 2070 for 500-540 dollars. I know if I go that route I am going to sell the 1070 as those still pull 275-300 online as the new version is still selling for 425-440 depending on the day.
 
edit: and today that same card is on sale for the next 5 days on newegg nib for $380, lol

Guess the best question to ask is what games do you play now or are on your 2019 wish list. 2070 is a great card with interesting features but it takes a game that uses them. If your not playing a game that supports the RTX new features SLI would probably be better.

That is what I am thinking as none of the games I play or going to play utilize SLI. Seems like it was a fad for awhile and for mining purposes. I have some time anyways as I want to wait to save up some more and see if the issues plaguing some of these cards will go away with new versions. Thanks to everyone for the comments! Any more information on the issues with the 2070 would also be welcome!

As a long time SLI user comments like this "sli sucks" are horribly incorrect and misleading. Most AAA title games and many other titles have solid SLI support, and games that do not are generally speaking far less demanding and do not require as much GPU power let alone require SLI. However WITH THAT BEING said i'd like to say with the amount of performance scaling you will get out of 2x 1070's will likely show far less performance gain at 1080p as it would 4K, and also heavily depend on what CPU you are running and how much of a bottleneck it becomes at 1080p trying to push 2x 1070's. Even here in 2019 there really isn't a lot a single 1070 can't do at 1080p. Sajin and Hoggle said it best, look into the games you're playing or plan on playing, and see what you can expect with SLI. Fact however you can never really go wrong with a single "faster" card and WILL indeed get great gpu scaling in ALL games. 
 
p.s. The RTX 2070 will not have SLI support, so that will not be an option for you down the road.

Works pretty well for me. =)

CPU I am running a I5-8600K with 32gb of DDR4 3200 Gskill memory. I am only going to go up to dual 2k monitors sometime over the next 6 months. Right now with what bills I just got hit with unexpectedly I won't be buying a card till August or so but the information is still good to me on all of this. I think with what I am going to be doing going to the 2070 is probably the best option and just sell the 1070 when I get that new card or save it as a backup card. What concerns me the most right now is all these reports of issues with these new 2000 series cards. I know not everyone has the same issues and I know some people just **** to **** but at the same time I've had 2 friends of mine with 2080s who have had issues with theirs causing lockups and what not. They put their 1080s back in and no issues. They did all new driver installs and even did a new OS install and still had issues. Both of them with different CPUS and boards so that is what bothers me now. I am hoping it is just a quick thing that will be fixed by the time I am going to buy.
 
Once again thank you to everyone who has posted or will post. All of this helps me and others!
