I achieved a solid overclock on my Strix GTX 1080, reaching 1978 MHz and exceeding 2.2K in the Heaven Benchmark. I own the AC version, not the overclocked one. If I installed an additional SLI card that didn’t perform as well—meaning it didn’t overclock as much—I wonder if it would affect this card’s performance. Thanks for your reply, Adam.

If a single card isn't a strong overclocker, your system would become unstable. You'd need both cards to function at the same speed and stability.

The quicker card will slow down to match the pace of the slower card

you need to manually configure both cards. i use msi after burning the burner for overclocking gpus. additionally, you can link the cards so settings match, allowing you to adjust speed once.

Thanks for the responses. My first thought was to eventually use two 1080's in SLI once this one started showing signs of aging. But I believe it would be wiser to keep the single card and upgrade to a top-tier card when it becomes too slow, replacing it with whatever high-end model is available later.
