The GeForce GTX 1080 SLI will blast beyond the majority of games requirements at 1080p, so crank up your screen resolution to 1440p or 4K and let the beautiful AAA game visuals wash over you. This is how gaming is meant to be played but you are likely to have to pay top dollar for the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI privilege. But if you can get this graphics solution, then its happy gaming.

GeForce GTX 1080 SLI is capable of DirectX 12 gaming requirements.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2022. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions. 1000 games can be played by this graphics card of the 1000 most demanding games being played by PC gamers today.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title FIFA 22 and saw it deliver strong frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 510 FPS, Medium: 401 FPS, High: 270 FPS and Ultra: 193 FPS. We proceeded to look at Dying Light 2 to see how that compared and saw that it returned a good 79 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

One of the growing popular screen resolutions for PC gaming is the wider 1440p. So we wanted to see how well the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI performed at 1440p by taking a look at some of the current popular games. First we looked at FIFA 22 and saw it deliver strong frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 389 FPS, Medium: 306 FPS, High: 206 FPS and Ultra: 147 FPS. We then checked the performance on Dying Light 2 to see if that runs well. It was good with a 60 FPS at Ultra 1440p. Looking at a few of these 1440p results for the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI we get the impression that it is a very good hardware option at these screen sizes. Ultra is easily achieved across almost all games at 1440p and we would suggest an increase of screen size up to 4K for this graphics card.
