Hi. I have an MSI 780 ti gaming and now that I'm playing the ROG Swift PG278Q at 1440p I need more graphics power. The price of this card has come down substantially...

At this price it's only about $100 more than the 970 which is currently sold out just about everywhere. It's also faster than the 970 and even faster than the reference 980. The easiest thing for me to do now would be to buy a second one of these and SLI. My other option is to wait for a restock of the 970s and buy two of them for SLI and try to sell my 780 ti. I wouldn't get anywhere near what I paid for it though and the 970s would be a slower setup than the 780 ti SLI.
I'm just about ready to order the 780 ti but I do have some concerns. The first is the 3gigs of ram that the 780 ti comes with. To my knowledge, it hasn't been a problem yet but I read that "Bethesda" I believe it was have made it clear that their new game "The Evil Within" needs a card with 4gigs to play at max settings. Do you think this is true? Will my 780 ti not be able to handle the game because it only has 3 gigs? Will upcoming games be following suit with this 4gig minimum? What do you think?
I'm also thinking about the new features that come with the 900 series. I've been told that Nvidia has already stated that these features will also work with some of the high end 700 series cards but I've also read that is false. How important do you think these features are?
I know some games have an SSAA option built in. Will this new DSR feature be a hardware type thing that works with every game or will it only work in games that already have the SSAA feature and if so what's the difference?
The new voxel lighting sounds interesting, thoughts on this?
MFAA is another one that sounds good to me I mean 4XMSAA visual quality at 2XMSAA performance hit, why not right?
What do you guys think? Are these features important to you? Should I be gunning for the extra gig or will I be fine with 3?
Any input is appreciated thanks!
