So for the past couple months I've been somewhat kicking myself for having bought two MSI N660 TF III (SLI) cards for my brand new desktop -- which I had built back in August. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the cards, and everything runs smooth as silk; but I've been pondering swapping out my dual card setup for a bigger single MSI N780 TF III setup instead.

I'm looking for some opinions as to which setup would deliver more performance on an overall basis. Cooling is not a factor currently as my SLI setup runs plenty cool on max load (~40-50c). I'm thinking the bigger memory bus, extra CUDA cores, and what not will slightly edge out the N660's but I can't say for sure.

Desktop Specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Socket (LGA 1150)
Processor : Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.0GHz/core
Graphics : MSI N660 TF III 2GB GDDR5 OC x2 - SLI
Memory : Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 2400MHz

Doesn't really help me too much. I'd like to see direct comparisons of the two, or at least some usable, comparable data. I've read estimates that the 660 SLI setup is only equivalent to a GTX 680. Then I've read some that estimate the GTX 660 SLI is on par with a GTX 770 or a GTX 780.
