Nvidia used to be the "best" when it comes to running more cards, but it fell off.
Today AMD better utilise more than 1 card, but.... because of how much stronger the very top of Nvidia cards are, it doesnt matter.

Like 2 x 580 = ~1 x 1080ti.

GPU prices..... a single 1080ti is like 1,000$+ though.

Oh, you mean two x R9 580s in crossfire match the performance of a GTX 1080 Ti.

I first though you meant two GTX 580s in SLI and was going to write that my old GTX 970 already performed much better and probably even a GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 960 or R9 280.

Yeah, SLI/crossfire lost (even more) importance since a GTX 1060 and RX 580 can keep up with a Xbox One X and multiplatform games have to even run on a PS4 or Xbox One.
