Hi guys. I wanted to ask you about the difference between these two graphics cards(or these two versions I'm not sure):
Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Asus Strix OC 4GB Edition and Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Asus Strix OC 4GB Edition SLI
Whenever I try their running performances on game-debate.com the SLI always outperforms the other one on every game. Why is that? and can I buy a better graphics card than these two for around 300$. Thank you! :)

SLI means Scalable Link Interface. It is when 2 of the same cards are in one PC connected. There no such card as "GeForce GTX 970 Asus Strix OC 4GB Edition SLI" It is two "Nvidia GeForce GTX 970" running together.

SLI is having 2 graphic cards in your PC at the same time. like having 2x GTX 970 ASUS STRIX 4GB, which means that the performance increases because it renders the frames on your monitor much more efficiently by taking turns. You could just get the GTX 970 for 1080p gaming and if you really wanted to SLI it it's up to you. It will cost you around $600 but it can beat the GTX Titan X and the GTX 980Ti in some games. Titan X costing a $1000 and GTX 980Ti around $600. and for $300 cards you could go with GTX 970 or the Radeon R9 390. the performance in both of them are awesome.

R9 390 - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Gaming-Graphics-GV-R939G1-GAMING-8GD/dp/B00ZGF3UAQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436028298&sr=1-3&keywords=R9+390
GTX 970 - http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5-Graphics-Cards/dp/B00NJ9BJ8G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436028636&sr=1-1&keywords=GTX+970+asus

Gaming performance of the R9 390 and the GTX 970 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udXCusTnRsY
