Two years later, I swapped the two Nvidia GTX 1080 FE cards in SLI for a single Gigabyte RTX 3070 Aorus Master 8G. A 19.3% improvement in average framerate. (35.3% vs a single GTX 1080)

When running @ 1440p with Ultra graphics settings, on average enabling SLI results in an additional 19 frames-per-second (an increase of 24.7%). Worth it? Even with a 144 Hz G-Sync monitor, probably not. Here’s the fancy output from the game’s built-in benchmark with SLI enabled.
