2x SLI Quad NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z 12GB or 4x SLI Quad NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Black 6GB 

 

​I don't care about the cost of it just what one is over all the best :) 

Quad SLI doesn't scale very well. The performance increase drops off at about the third card, Plus most games and other applications support up-to 2 way SLI.

One Titan Z or 2 Titan Blacks. After that they don't seem to scale as well, and the price/performance sucks more because of that.

Remember when we all said that you'd need more money than sense to buy a Titan Z? I think I that applies here...

The question should be...2x R9 290X, 2x Titan Black, 2x 780ti, or R9 295X2...Titan Z is not a real solution for anything, even for GPGPU workstation. 

 

As of right now, Crossfire scaling is way better than SLI.  R9 295X2 hands down the best multi-GPU set up available at the moment.
