Hi, I am having some trouble choosing between some GTX graphics cards. I have settles on the Asus ROG line, but there are 3 different cards.
First, the ROG MARS760-4GD5, which is 2 760s, the ROG POSEIDON-GTX780-P-3GD5, which is a single 780, or a ROG STRIKER-GTX760-P-4GD5, which still isn't avaible on Newegg just quite yet. Anyway, for the Mars 760, it has 4gb of VRAM and comes with two cards, together ASUS claims to be 7% faster than a GTX Titan. Then, the Poseidon has 3gb of VRAM. It is pretty fast. Then there is the Striker 760, with 4gb of VRAM and fast, too. If I buy them, I would either buy: The Mars 760 (Dual GPU), or one Poseidon 780, or two Striker 760s. With the 780 I could SLI later down the road and get top notch performance. So which one will do me the best? I still don't know if I want to water cool. Thanks so much!

Dual gpu's have issues, among them tearing and stuttering.
If you have the funds, buy a GTX780. You will get fair value by paying a bit more for a factory superclocked version
Only if you will buy a 4k monitor or triple monitor gaming would I plan on sli.

On the vram , it is not much of an issue.

Firstly I think you pay premium prices for ROG branded cards, etc.

I can't comment on a card which isn't released.

I take it your budget would fit around any of these.

Any of the 760's are good for most any 1080p game now. A 780 will run max in all 1080p games now and run 2 x 1080p monitors easy. The 780 can later be SLI'd to run 4K - lowish fps, but still do-able.

Me? - I'd be happy just sitting on one 780 and see what comes along later (GTX8xx series)
