I see there are cheaper prices on the 780ti cards on Amazon.com atm so i might purchase one. Now i noticed the kingpin edition is only $140us more expensive than the one i already have... SO... With that in mind should i go with that? or grab another EVGA 780 ti SC/ACX. As far as i know the kingpin IS capable of sli with SC edition.

Any help would be appreciated as you guys always seem to have good answers lol :)

Cheers

Seeing from your specs money's not a problem but still to spend $140us more for the kingpin would be still stupid. My advice is get another EVGA superclocked card.

Thanks for that. On a side note though I will be water cooling them with the best loop I can find. If that makes any difference. :)

Get the same card you have now. Unlike crossfire, cards in SLI have to run at the same clock speeds. Running a card in SLI with another card at slower clock speeds will cause the higher clocked card to be down clocked to match the speeds of the slower card.

I always wondered that. Yes i got the same card. Hopefully i can get a little closer to that 60hz now on 4k :) Got the one from amazon for $669us + free copy of watch dogs :) Dam tax+exchange rate to get it here though made it $1000nz. Still cheaper than buying it here though lol.
