Two 1080TIs are way better than one Titan Xp and cost about the same (2x$700 vs $1200). Each TI has 11GB of RAM vs the TitanX's 12GB, and each TI is nearly as fast.
At the NVIDIA conference all the second tier hosting companies were promoting the P100 (at NVIDIAs insistence) but when pressured admitted that their big customers now deploy 1080TIs. Paying for P100s is sort of a clown move even if you're spending someone else's money. The P100 starts at like 10x the price of the 1080TI and isn't much faster and again has just 12GB of RAM (16GB if you pay $4000 more, ludicrous)

Multi-gpu models are still very complicated in my experience. And the Xp is a bit faster and has 1gb more memory, which is useful in some edge cases (like large or 3D covnets) Also if there do build with multiple gpus, watch out that you can give both cards a full 16 pci lanes, not a given in a lot of motherboards.
