Need help choosing a new monitor.

G-Sync is overrated and pretty much useless, if you are running high fps anyway. I prefer ULMB.
This is coming from a Gsync monitor owner..

These adaptive sync tech's are only good in the low fps range. 30-50 especially. I never play games in that range.

Lucky you. Fps often dip lower than 60 on the games I play and stuttering looks obvious.

You dip below 60 fps with a 1080 Ti in 1080p in which games? I generally stay above 60 fps at all times at 1440p using a (heavily) overclocked 980 Ti... in the most demanding games I'll gladly sacrifice IQ to stay above 60 fps at all times.

Why have you underclocked your CPU?

Then youre doing it wrong.

Will my 4790k bottleneck 2 x 1080 TIs?

You should be just fine (overall).

Edit: it will bottleneck a 1080 ti SLI to some extent though.

Wildlands, maxed out, for instance. I get a minimum of ~66fps and a maximum of ~83fps out of its own benchmark, but actual gameplay can sometimes dip as low as 47fps. It wouldn't be that noticeable on a g-sync monitor which's the whole point of it.

The OP is looking for decent upgrade advice, try not to tell him non-g-sync 4K is just as great for Nvidia GPUs right now.

Also, don't dismiss dynamic refresh rate tech as overrated, especially if you already own a g-sync monitor and barely recall that stutter is being smoothed out.

Alleviating choppiness as your setup ages simply can't be taken for vain, owners of older systems should be thankful for that.

Why have you underclocked your CPU?

4.0GHz is stock. I used to run it @ 4.3GHz (also higher voltage) but fps gains were nowhere near proportional and maximum temperatures were too hot for my taste (~75ºc). I may have lost 1-2fps but my highest CPU temps are around 60ºc now.

Then youre doing it wrong.

Enlighten me please.

The guy who was supposed to sell me his gigabyte aorus 1080 TI backed out. I went ahead and ordered 2 x evga 1080 ti ftw3s and I think I'm gonna settle with the XB271HU. How much of a bottleneck will the 4790k be? Currently it's running on stock. What frequency should it be running for it not to be a bottleneck? Oh and I'll be swapping the board over to an M7Formula so there's gonna be more space between the gpus. Thanks!
