i7-4820K or 4770K(or similar) for SLI

Solution
In games? The 4820k can run two cards at 16x, while the 4770k will run at 8x, 1 or 2 fps difference maybe.

Only with motherboards that have a plx chip, which are usually expensive.
To run 2x 16x pcie, you'd need to have a 4930k, 4960x, 5930k or 5960x.
