Hi guys,
Trying to decide which is better 2 GTX 660's or a single gtx 770. If it helps any, I already own a gtx 660 specifically this one:

The 770 I was looking at is:

So as you can see, they would both be 4GB video cards, the only difference as I see is the speed, which I could accommodate for with a slight OC of the two 660's. The PSU I have is more than enough for the two cards. Please note, that seeing as my budget can't exceed $400, and I must have a 3D vision compatible video card, it must be one of the above mentioned solutions.

Thanks for your time

BTW, yes I realize that if I OC the 660, I have to do it to both cards not just one of them.

-If both GPU's are 2GB, they don't add up like 2+2=4. Both will operate at 2GB of VRAM
-Better go with single 4GB, less power consumption, less heat and etc.
-This days modern games will need 3GB of VRAM (such as Battlefield 4), and 4GB will serve you better in 1440p resolution.
-My suggestion is R9 280X, aprox. $50 cheaper than GTX 770, and the performance is 7-10% difference in different games.
