780 ti vs 2x 670

I have a EVGA GTX 670 Signature 2.  I was thinking of upgrading soon and was wondering if I should get another 670 or a 780 ti.  The 780 ti would cost significantly more, and I was wondering what if any benefits I would have.  Also I have not been able to find the exact 670 that I have and would be kindof bothered by a different cooler on each card.  Thanks

The 780Ti would perform 5-10 frames better than the dual 670's. You get more CUDA and more vRAM with the 780Ti, but the 670 is cheaper. You decide.

Get the second GTX 670. It will perform about the same, if a bit better, than the 780 Ti.

Since you are bothered by aesthetics, 780 Ti would be the way to go. It is expensive but on the flip side, you won't have to deal with micro-stuttering and games compatibility with SLI and a GB more of VRAM if your 2GB (I'm assuming 2) is starting to get pushed over.

If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it.

Wait, what?  The 780Ti would perform better than two 580's sure, but not two 670's.  At most, it might pull even...

 

 

EDIT - This is assuming single monitor resolutions of course.  The 2GB memory buffer would be a problem in surround...
