@davillain: I went back and re-tested after you submitted your score to see how I did. This is the only test where I'll likely score higher than my previous SLI config though. As soon as you start moving up the resolutions the GPU difference comes into play and my old config was "faster" even if it's just for the 3dmark and a handful of older games.
But yeah, our scores are pretty close but then again our systems are also pretty similar. I doubt the 5950x vs 5900x makes any difference but the GPU is a little bit faster.
SLI last gen was pointless because it didn't work with anything. Nvidia was smart to drop the option because at least from a gaming perspective there's zero support for it anymore. The only silver lining to buying dual 2080 tis previously was by the time I got rid of them video card scarcity made it so I could recoup most of my cost (I refuse to charge scalper prices but I probably could have were I so inclined).
I'll miss building crazy enthusiast systems with dual video cards and nuts cooling, but at the same time I'm not going to miss buying dual cards since the prices keep going up every generation or having to deal with the power/space/cooling requirements of such rigs.
