GTX 1080 with i5-3570 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
In terms of memory, the GTX 1080 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. This combination between GTX 1080 and Intel Core i5-3570 @ 3.40GHz has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2016 .
The release year of the graphics card. The newer the better technology and performance optimization and
driver support.

The good news is, with the release of the GTX 1080 Ti, the GTX 1080 's price is getting more discount. NVIDIA ’s xx80 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Pascal graphics card inside the GTX 1080, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
The GTX 1080 has 8 GB RAM compared to the GTX 980 's 4 GB video memory. Unfortunately, gaming performance was not quite as impressive. Even if the GTX 1080 consistently delivers frame rate increases over the GTX 980, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, the gain is not much to justify an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Borderlands 3, Anthem, Need For Speed: Heat, Just Cause 4, Gears of War 5 at 68 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 78 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Gears of War 5, Need For Speed: Heat, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4, Final Fantasy XV at 62 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Forza Horizon 4 at 65 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.
The GTX 1080 sits between the RTX 2060 SUPER and the RX Vega 64, falling slower than RTX 2060 SUPER by 0.3% and faster than RX Vega 64 by 4.9%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the RTX 2060 SUPER. There is a big margin in performance when comparing the GTX 1080 against the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GTX 1080 sits between the RTX 2060 SUPER and the Radeon VII, falling slower than RTX 2060 SUPER by 3.4% and faster than Radeon VII by 2.9%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. The GTX 1080 averaged 101.2 fps in , topping the RX Vega 64 by a good margin. There is a big margin in performance when comparing the GTX 1080 against the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GTX 1080 sits between the RTX 2060 SUPER and the RX Vega 64, falling slower than RTX 2060 SUPER by 3.3% and faster than RX Vega 64 by 1.1%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. There is a big margin in performance when comparing the GTX 1080 against the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GTX 1080 sits between the RTX 2060 SUPER and the RTX 2060, falling slower than RTX 2060 SUPER by 5.3% and faster than RTX 2060 by 2.6%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. The GTX 1080 averaged 82.2 fps in , topping the RX Vega 64 by a good margin. There is a big margin in performance when comparing the GTX 1080 against the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GTX 1080 sits between the RX Vega 56 and the RTX 2060 SUPER, falling slower than RX Vega 56 by 1.7% and faster than RTX 2060 SUPER by 0.8%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the RX Vega 56. Against its rival - the RX Vega 64, the GTX 1080 is much slower. There is a big margin in performance when comparing the GTX 1080 against the GTX 1080 Ti.

Personally, im keeping my 980 ti hybrid. I dont see any need to upgrade since it maxes 60 fps on all of my games at 1440p. I'd wait to see benchmarks tomorrow then make your decision.

What @Slumy_57 & @RobCrezz said. You're going to be at the mercy of SLI support in the games, & (unfortunately) the trend over the past couple of years is to let SLI support slide quite a bit (in a few games being so non-existent that SLI actually sees the performance drop).That being said...the Titan X (Pascal) & GTX 1080Ti are more powerful than your current 1080 (http://www.techspot.com/review/1352-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti/), but the question is whether the extra performance is truly worth it. Techspot's review says that, on average, the 1080TI provides ~20-24% more performance than the 1080. That's technically true; although the increase at 1080p resolutions is technically only ~13%, that's primarily because DOOM has a 200FPS framecap; both the GTX 1080 & 1080Ti hit the cap at 1080p, & while the GTX 1080 doesn't quite make it there, it's fairly close (177FPS), while the 1080Ti is still capped at 200. On the opposite end, even with the extra performance there were still a couple of games (Deus Ex: Mankind Divided & Mafia III) where the 4K performance still isn't quite at the "single GPU" level, & even on some of the other games you're not going to max out your 4K/60Hz monitor (the 1080Ti only had 60+ FPS at 4K in 10 of the 19 games).The biggest reason I can think of for possibly switching is to allow for smoother performance. That "20 to 24% improvement" figure pretty much holds true not only for the average FPS in the games but also the minimum FPS. When Techspot tested it, the GTX 1080Ti was able to maintain a minimum of 60FPS in all 19 games at 1440p, & 8 or 9 of the games at 4K (I say "8 or 9" because it was able to hit 59FPS minimum in Titanfall 2, which to me is close enough to include). So if your games aren't as smooth onscreen as you'd like, the 1080Ti will help out there.That being said...Unless you're going to sell your GTX 1080 & get some decent cash for it, buying a brand-new GTX 1080Ti just for a 25% performance improvement is basically just spending cash for bragging rights. If your system needs some improvements, the cash might be better spent on other parts.

1080 SLI will probably give you the best performance. This video shows a good comparison between them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWtqGNmWS3YThat said, not every application supports SLI or multi-GPU, so be careful.
What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
If you have been planning to upgrade your system by purchasing a new graphics card. Then there are some important factors to consider.
Resolution VS Quality: Impact on Game Performance
What affects game performance? Clarity or Details?
Ultra VS High Quality Settings in PC Games
Every player has a different notion about the ideal setting for PC games. But in most cases, opting for a High quality graphics configuration is the way to go.
What are CPU or GPU Bottlenecks?
Are you getting sudden frame drops? you might have a bottleneck.
What is the acceptable FPS speed for me?
For some games, you can still enjoy great garphics at lower frame rates.
