This is kind of interesting list.

 

I just swapped out my 970s for 2 OG titans as I wanted more vram and higher Cuda count for video work. Turns our even know a single 970 is about 5% faster than a single og titan. 2 og titans in sli is abour 15÷ faster than 2 970s. I pulled 15k in firestrike with the 970s now I'm getting 18k with the titans. Go figure.... 

 

Maybe the 6gb vram vs 3.5gb really make a difference in sli.

R9 Fury should be a teir up and the Titan Z and R9---x2 should be a teir down

Plz add GTX 6 series

The 770 is as close as you'll get to 600 series. 770 is basically a 680 with faster core and mem

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

Lol I know where it all fits in the stack. 660 or less is the "no don't buy it's too old" and 670-680 is in the "budget 1080p/720p for demanding games" one

Moved Fury series, although the R9x2 and Titan Z cards are still competitive with the 1080 in a lot of games.
