You're not going to get more than a 20% OC typically on a GPU.  SLI is obviously closer to 90% gain.

I have a gtx 970.

 

Should I buy another 970 and SLI, or OC the hell out of it to match the SLI perfromace?

 

Your GTX 970 is a Strix.

 

Good luck doing that, or even overclocking it at all.

I got it OCd to 1427mhz on the core and the memory to 8210mhz...

On air...

I got a 16% performance increase!

No offense, but 1427mhz is abysmal for a 970.

1550mhz is average for MSI and Gigabyte 970's

 

My 970 is 1590mhz Core 8000mhz Mem
