My guess is Resolve used OpenCL for computing in Resolve. I have a single GTX 1080, and opened an old project which is a 40min documentary shot on RED, ranging up to 5K. Are you familiar with the 'blur test' ? The project was mastered in 4K, thus the timeline was also set to 4K. I set the debayer for the entire project to "full res. premium" and found a shot which was fairly long, about 15-20 seconds.
I added up to 8 nodes of blur (after the initial grade), and only then did it go just under 25fps. In 4K!! The standard blur test is HD material on a HD timeline, and most users are happy if they can get like 12-14 nodes of blur. I gotta test a HD timeline as well and see how many nodes I can have.
So that's one GTX 1080, GUI and processing the video. I can't imagine where it'd stop with two.

I'd like to, but gotta wait for Otoy to update Octane. I don't have any experience with 980, 980Ti or Titan X, so I all I can point you at is the OctaneBench in general, or look around the forums for experience with them. I upgraded from first gen Titan.
