Hey, I am thinking of buying a new pc, and i'll be running two cards in SLI, but I'm hesitating between 660ti 3GB OC or 2GB OC Power Ed., they're both from MSI and got Twin Frozr cooling technology.
 
I'm liking the 3GB cards. There are a couple games that go over 2GB and likely more on the way.

There is also a little known fact that the 3GB memory configuration on the GTX 660 Ti is symmetrical, which allows all the memory banks to run at the full memory bandwidth. In the 2GB version, one of the memory banks is forced to run at a slower speed in respect to the others. Anandtech can explain it better than I can:
