I have the ODE 3 with the GTX570s in SLI. I want to stream line and lessen power usage and temps while maintaining high performance with out the flickers and micro stutters. I found some comparable options in the GTX 770 OC 4GB and of course the 780 but not sure I want to spend that much coin. Just looking for some input from the community. Thanks.

Hi prowl647..    The single gtx 770 will give you a little less performance, maybe, 10-20% less, than a sli 570 setup, on average.  Some games will play the same and some a few fps less. 
 
A 780 will just about match or maybe a bit better than sli 570s, but $200 more for the 780 over the 770.
 
Not sure the monitor you have, but a single 770 or 780 will play real nice on a 1920x1080 monitor, and you won't have the sli issues and a lot less power demand and heat.  The 770/780 , single fan reference type, without the ACX double fan cooler, exit most of the heat out of the case, unlike the older gen cards.  Better for case cooling. 
 
Here's a link that compares a single 570 to single 770.  You can also put in the 780 to check that.
 
 
Hope this helps. Big%20Smile
