Which is stronger: GTX 770 Crossfire vs. Single GTX 780

I am thinking about a new PC build and I need a high-end graphics card for 3D rendering for designs. I was considering either a 770 crossfire or just a single 780. The crossfire will be more expensive, but I was wondering which one will actually perform better. I might also overclock the GPUs for more performance.

The 770's will both have 2gb ram and the 780 will have 3gb ram. I include this because I might want to start using multiple monitors and extra ram is always good, but I am not sure how crossfiring will effect a multi-monitor setup.

So Crossfiring GTX 770's or just using a 780? Please help!


Thanks!

Thank You! But how will they hold up against each other if it was 3D rendering and 3D graphics design?

And sorry, I think of Crossfire and SLI as the same thing, because they really aren't that different, so I sometimes mix and math my words.
 
Unless the rendering/graphic program supports an SLI / Crossfire configuration the GTX 780 would be better for that purpose.

Gaming wise the GTX 770 SLI setup is easily the winner from a purely performance stand point (though more power, more heat, more noise, etc).

I math words too,

I'd take 770's but most people prefer a single stronger card, i have no clue about 3d rendering but it probably depends on if the program supports SLI

Okay, it's so the END of the day. It took me a few seconds to get this whole thing. LOL! I think my brain auto corrected his typo. ;)
