hi what do you think is better should i get another gtx 780 and sli it with my other one or should i wait for the gtx 880?
 
Solution
Depends what "better" means to you. I'd guess power/performance? In that case, the 780s would outperform the 880. But make sure you have a compatible computer. Like a motherboard that supports SLI, and a power supply that can give out enough watts (Probably at least an 750W, 80+ Ceritified, and 42A on the 12v rails.)

Adding another 780 probably will increase the FPS by like 33% or so, but already, the 780 can handle any game with 60+ FPS; So the change with another 780 isn't really going to make the game a lot smoother I guess.

So long as the rest of your system is equipped to handle it. I would wait for the gtx 880 and then buy the gtx780 that should hopefully experience a nice price drop with the release of the newer model. You'll probably have to quick though :)
