I am looking to replace my 2 GTX 670 FTW running sli with a GTX 780ti, but not sure which one to get. I play mmo's, some fps games, and watch movies on my computer. I would like to get one that will run my system on ultra settings with having to do little or no overclocking my self. Thanks in advance.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE VRAM. I see that the 780 6GB as likes0079 had said would be ideal for high-res gaming, but because the 780ti is so powerful, it won't break a sweat. It's not like a 760 4GB where you believe you could actually play at 4k (not really...you won't get much fps).
Just remember that more VRAM=better quality, and a better card=more fps. It's either performance or quality and since you are gaming on a 1080p monitor you'll get both with that beast if a card.
Btw, it doesn't matter which card you get when it's with the reference or non-reference cooler. Get the reference for...

What display do you have?

I find 3gb not enough for my display under 4k.

So if you have like something bigger than 1440p, take two 780s 6gb could probably be better, or if your temperature in the case is fine, 290x 4gb could possibly even better.

I have EVGA SC ACX 3gb version.

If you are going for a 1080p, and only want EVGA. I say whichever the cheapest, OC really involves luck.

Btw, it doesn't matter which card you get when it's with the reference or non-reference cooler. Get the reference for looks and OK temperatures as well as the planing of SLI now or in the future or get any EVGA ACX cooler (it doesn't matter) if you are only going to be using one card and want better single-GPU temperatures.
Here's my advice for the non-reference cards-get the one with the highest clock speeds if you don't want to spend time overclocking and just want better performance out of the box. Like the SC ACX or the Classified non-reference (if you can spend a bit more).
It doesn't matter what cooler you get and you won't have to worry..every card is powerful and awesome on its own and even reference temps will be good. I've seen a lot of people get reference coolers for their 780ti. As a personal preference, I would get an ACX card but it won't matter what you get. An ASUS 780ti would be the best IMO with DCUII.

agree what he said, I think the Asus 780ti is a bit longer than other. Make sure you have room.

I am sorry I forgot to mention I have SLI 780ti to play on high res which in most cases is sufficient in terms of FPS. But the vram is bottlenecking the performance.

Buying larger Vram is also buying the potential to SLI in the next year before a totally better generation comes out.

SLI 780s do not have enough horsepower to run 4k. But 1440p is fine. Or 3*1080p with AA off

i have a eVGA 780ti SC ACX and it's performance is amazing , You can't really go wrong with it so i'd recommand it :) The one with the Green shiny text on the side might look good but it has worse cooling than the ACX one.
