MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDRR5 Video Card for $359.99 Shipped

Good for those looking to do SLI... As for the deal, with VEGA 56s at $269 it's hard to justify it unless you have a GSYNC monitor and are some how morally opposed to buying an RTX 2060 card.

No reason to do SLI when you can just sell your existing card towards a newer one that will undoubtedly perform better and more consistently than 2x whatever you have in SLI for about as much or less money (after selling your existing card) as buying a 2nd card, esp if you want to run any games in DX12 where SLI isn't supported.

I never understood using SLI in anything other than the current gen flagship card either, because you're almost universally better off putting that 2nd card's money towards a faster single card. The only time you can justify it otherwise is if you can find a smoking deal on a 2nd card.

So I definitely agree with SPARTAN VI , this isn't really a deal and you're much better off with a 2060 here with similar or better performance and of course newer features (RTX, DLSS, less power, etc.)

I agree with everything you said; but If someone wants to do SLI, it’s still a good deal for them.
