Is it worth it?

Hi there Im wondering if it's worth it to buy second GTX 780 and put them in sli as I found one real cheap? I'm not sure if it's worth it and if my power supply will handle it as I have Corsair AX760 and my cpu is I7 4770k 4.2ghz @1.13v

Of course it's worth it.

Would my power supply handle two cards? it's only 760w (Corsair AX760). I'm also not sure if 3gb of vram is enough for 1080p gaming in near future?

I see little to no point investing More money in old tech at this point. Save your money and wait for the next generation of cards. Unless we are talking truly cheap prices.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say but it's 130.

For that price i think it's well worth it

Defo at that price!

For sure, go for it, it's a steal. And yes, your PSU is fine. Your system (with 2 of them) would run at ~740 max without accounting for overclocking, but that's assuming full load which is unlikely.

A pair of "superclocked" ones (967 MHz/1020 MHz boost) and a 3960X @ 4.7 consume 755 W in 3dmark 11.

Your CPU is less hungry and if your cards are closer to ref speeds then you should be just about OK.
