I saw someone in another thread say they were running a 2080ti and their old 1080

I've got the 2080ti ftw3 but I still have my old 980ti
Would there be any benefit to slapping my old 980ti back in?
I thought cuda cards are pretty well a bust

    Depends on what you are doing. Certain programs would leverage the 980ti, but most programs will not. I would suggest sticking to the 2080ti alone.

    I would not use them together as the 2080Ti is a beast
     
    980Ti could upgrade a old PC or be used as a dedicated Folding GPU
