Hey, i currently own an asus direct cu2 780ti and i was wondering if i could SLI it with a 780ti gigabyte windforce, i cant find another asus anywhere for aan affordable price but i did find a windforce one.

Im asking because i reas somewhere that the sli slot on the asus is located diffrently from other cards

You might have to use a flexible SLI bridge doe.

The cards will work together fine, but if your motherboard has odd pcie spacing, you might need to get yourself a long flexible sli cable so that it will work no matter what...

Yeah should be fine, I've got a friend running 2 780's on an ax 860 without any prob, and the 780ti does not take too much more power than the 780

 

Which PSU is it, i dont believe ive seen such a such a high power bronze PSU, i though bronze rates PSU's topped out at around 750w

^ This. Once you start pushing more voltage through 780s and 780TIs, power consumption goes out the window instantly. :P

But you'll be fine running them with your psu and stock clocks @OP.
