I know this board has some funky PCI-e lane layout, can anyone tell me if I can run an M.2 SSD + SLI GTX 1080Ti + a PCI-e x4 3.0 USB add-in card?

I need that add-in card for my Oculus Rift setup, there are not enough USB resources on this motherboard.

If I do run that setup will it kick one of my 1080Ti's down to x16? I think it will as this board shares PCI-e lanes in a weird way.

Are you using a 40 lanes CPU? If so, your mentioned configuration will work. As long as you don't populate the PCIEX8_2 or PCIEX8_4 slots, your GPUs should be at x16.
