If you have, say, a GTX 780 and have been thinking about blowing the roof off with another in SLI, Newegg has some nice cards out there for you to choose from. Just be careful and compare to newest offerings prices cause some approach costs of new 900 series that may be more powerful and offer the newest features such as DirectX12 which turns out to have many benefits coming, but I like SLI IF you have a board capable, and are on a budget like I have been. GTX 960 can be had for $200, the 4GB vers. for 230usd, and GTX 970s run about 329usd, GTX 980s 550usd. But a 780 3GB times two is more powerful than a GTX 980, I would presume. Power is another concern, the 900 series are power sippers.

These are older cards starting with the 460s on up in power. I found that 2 560tis in SLI will run FC4 in High (edit: with i5 3350P@3.7Ghz) which is the same as FC3 in Ultra for comparison. Just saying you might save some money.
There is a nice EVGA with blower out the back style body, GTX 780 3GB for 289usd here:

The cards go quick if they are good deal. Be careful, tho, and only order Newegg stuff, not the resellers they list, can't say I would recommend them, I recently got a PNY GTX 580 with a furball in blower area that showed it had not been cleaned, or tested, as it has silicone probs, so I will not recommend any but EVGA as I have had no problems with those directly from Newegg after around 7 cards ordered and installed. Every one of those looked brand new and preformed as such.
Since I only know about Nvidia cards, that is all that is here, I just don't keep up and frankly, can't keep the series straight in AMD cards, tho they are also good cards. Perhaps an AMD user could post a place to go to see them. These are the ones I think in my opinion, would be viable gaming cards for the price, I am going to stick to 900 series from now on, and have just ordered a GTX 960 2GB VRAM MSI D5 card for a budget build for my Gson. But a good 580 would keep up in FC3 and other DX11 games as would a 670.
SLI CARDS ONLY CAN UTILIZE THE VIDEO RAM FROM ONE CARD, I THINK THE LOWEST VALUE ONE, IN THAT SLI MODE, SO IF YOU HAVE TWO EACH 2GB CARDS IN SLI, ONLY 2GB WILL SHOW AND BE USED, SO BE WARNED.
