780sli or wait for 880?

I read some news in some hardware websites and they all said that the 880 will use gm204 and has 3200 core!!! Should i change my card into 880 or sli my 780?

Its really hard to say as the 880 hasn't been released yet.

sli is hard to recommend because it dont work on every game, a 780 sitting doing nothing is not good. not many games do sli. only 30% of games i play do this but every game need more fps....880 is better then sli 780 in my book.

I'm guessing two 780s in SLI will outperform the 880.But the 880 is probably going to be stronger than the 780.
The rule about GPUs is,you get the better card in favor of 2 weaker cards in SLI,and then you SLI the better card in the future.
SLI does suffer from stuttering,draws more power,generates more heat & noise and not many games are optimized for SLI.
Since you already have a 780,it would be cheaper to get another and SLI(if your current PSU and mobo support it ofc).
If you've got good cooling and a decent psu(and can put up with a bit of stuttering),go for SLI 780s.

But,do you really need that much power ?

SLi doesnt really suffer from stuttering any more, pretty sure nvidia fixed all that a while ago. And not many games using it? Pretty sure nearly every game (that needs SLI) uses it. Nvidia are very quick at releasing SLi profiles

From what i've seen Minecraft is a CPU intensive game.
Does your 780 struggle with playing Minecraft ? I thought one 780 would be plenty for minecraft.
