CV1 and SLI

Will the rift ever be able to make use of SLI? I have 2 EVGA GTX980 SC's but when using the rift I can only use 1 and just dedicate the other to physx. 

Will I ever be able to use both or will I have to sell up and splash out on a single GTX1080?

Short, unofficial (by my part) answer: no, SLI is unsupported, full stop. No point in investing on it, not for vr at least.
Long, even more unofficial answer, it kind of depends on nvidia part, doesn't it? VRworks, VR SLI and all that. They some time talk big and under deliver, more for marketing than on the engineering side.
Just my opinion.

unsupported full stop by who? Somebody can make a game with VR SLI support right now as the latest nvidia drivers now allow this, the issue is nobody did it yet, not that its not supported unless i'm mistaken.

In theory, there are ways to make SLI work. With proprietary APIs from Nvidia/AMD or custom multi-GPU implementations in DirectX12. In practice, I don't know of any game that actually does this (outside of Nvidia's Carnival tech demo). It's possible some developers will explore this in the future but I doubt it will ever be an automatic thing that works for any game.

well at least that is something. It was Iracing I was thinking about as to be fair thats all I really use the rift for.

Do you think it is something Iracing would do?
