I built this pc last year and wanted to add a second GTX 660ti for an SLI setup. Wanted to get an identical card but the PNY version I have now is getting hard to find and the few I've located are 50-60 bucks more than the Asus version of the card, which has a slightly faster base clock. As far as I know if I SLI with the Asus they will both just run at the speed of the slightly slower PNY card, so is there any real reason to insist on getting the PNY even though it costs more? How will this affect me if I choose to overclock the cards in the future?
