I hope you can help me.
I currently have 2x 560Ti cards in SLI. System has always been fine but recently having some issues playing ArcheAge on high setting - computer is just rebooting itself - doesn't happen if I lower the graphics settings. I think it's time to finally upgrade (plus I have two kid machines each running a 560 Ti - I can give one card each to them for SLI....the cards won't be wasted).
My dilemma - get two lower end cards and SLI them, which I have always done, or one higher end card?
I am open to suggestions - but I do want to stick with Nvidia - and I do like Asus.
I am looking at the Nvidia 780 @ $419. But I see the 780 Ti @ only $30 more for $449. Worth another $30? I also see a version called Poseidon, which i guess allows for water or air cooling, but it seems to have a higher core clock and higher boost clock - for $100 cheaper @ $319. This is very confusing as the specs look better on the Poseidon card but it's cheaper? Here are the 3 side by side:

Or still sticking to the Nvidia and Asus lines - is there a better option to suggest?
I have an Asus MB (it's either the P8 Z77-VLK or the P8Z68 Deluxe....can't figure out which went into this machine), 16 GB of RAM, Cool Master large case (I think with plenty of room), all air cooled (but I have a lot of fans), etc...
Thanks for any help - particularly with those card differences.
