Would 2080ti ftw3 ultra sli perform better than a single 3080, running 4k at 60fps+ with max settings RTX/DLSS on?
I haven't seen any vids so far other than a 2080ti sli vs 1080ti

Dual 2080 Ti's outperform 3080 in SLI or dual GPU supported titles, otherwise a single 3080 or even 3090 is better.
Lack of traditional SLI support in 3090 is what's holding me back from wanting to upgrade to current generation.

The performance from dual 2080ti's seems more enticing now than a single 3080. Issue is I'd have make another purchase for a LGA1200 mobo with SLI capabilities. I did not expect the 3080 to be a disappointment, so I did not purchase an SLI board. Lesson learned: get SLI mobo for builds moving forward. We'll see how nvidia's decision to not incorporate SLI for the 30xx series plays out.

SLI profiles will not be added or updated starting January 2021. Nvidia did say that they would help game devs work on mGPU DX12 implementation, but they said that when DX12 mGPU became a thing - and very, very few games support it. https://nvidia.custhelp.c...tive-game-integrations TLDR - SLI isn't a good investment for gaming. It was bad before, now it's literally a dead end.

This is true, but it does make me sad. I always felt that SLI was the future of gaming, but the support and stability were never there.

Wouldn't SLI for RTX/DLSS be beneficial for titles that have it?

Value is relative - I'd say no since (again) so few titles support SLI and RTX/DLSS - and I came from SLI 1080 Tis to a single 2080 Super (for free, thankfully - it was a side grade from a 1080 Ti in games that I tested EXCEPT for DLSS (Ray tracing hit performance too much at 4K)), and now to a 3090 FTW3 Ultra that is on the way. I mean, if you really, really like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, go for it! (SoTTR is the only game that I know of that supports SLI, ray tracing, and DLSS)

I have RTX titles, but I'm preparing for CyberPunk.

And Cyberpunk 2077 supports SLI or mGPU? If so, have at it - it's your call not mine!

Yea, no articles about it =/ may have to go with 3080 ftw3 ultra when ever it returns to stock. Thanks for the info!

SLI is dead. It's not impossible that it might be re-introduced in the future, but with nVidia having slowly removed it from one tier of their product stack with every generation, we're now at the point where it only exists on the Titan-class card, with software support limited to a handful of games that are used as benchmarks. Few developers (if any beyond the initial bunch) will want to put any development effort into an ultra-niche use case (since a microscopic portion of their customer base will have dual 3090s). SLI will probably be missing entirely from Hopper (4000) series cards.
tl;dr: SLI is dead and won't be coming back, don't skip the 3080 or 3090 because you want to wait for a future SLI setup.
