I have a simple choice to make: Choose between two GTX 760 OEM versions for an SLI configuration or a single GTX 770 reference card.

AMD FX 8350 @ 4.133
Corsair HX850
Asus M5a99fx Pro 2.0
Vengeance RAM 16gb @ 1600

The GTX 760 OEM versions are only 1.5 gig cards and 192 bit. I'm not sure which is going to give me better performance for games at 1080p using DVI to connect to my single monitor. It will be hard to get another GTX 770 reference card for a decent price, but if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can get one of those that would be great. Money is not an issue for the topic at hand because I already have the cards. I just want to know which set up will give me better performance for gaming. Any advice is appreciated.

Neither at this time, the GTX 960 will be released on Jan 22. It will be on par with the 770 for around $260 and is said to operate between 100 and 120 watts.

Edit: just reread your post, a pair of 760 will top a single 770 all day... but the 1.5GB may hinder you a bit in a year or 2 perhaps, I think the 960 is set up with 4GB reference.

Thanks for the response. I think you're right about the 1.5gb being an issue in the future. Manufacturer's 760's in SLI are definitely better than a single 770. But these OEM versions are slower, with smaller bandwidth and I have no expreience with them.
