 Soon im buying a new high end gaming pc and will be running my games at 4k but cant decide which cards to buy either a 3 way 780 ti or a 2 way titan black setup. I am aware of the v-ram difference on both cards but from many benchmarks ive seen the titan black 2 way sli and 780 ti 3 way sli are close on fps. But which would be better for my money and gaming experience. Of course i want to use the highest graphics settings possible with playable frame rate also i will be gaming for up to an occasional 8 hours at a time. Please give best advice Thanks!

Get 3 290s/x if you need 3 GPUs, the Titan Black and 780Ti are both wastes of money

The titans aren't worth it for gameplay.  Three 780 TI's have a lot of power, is this just for one monitor?

I would wait for the "800 series" if you're going to be doing 4K

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress

I'd got dual 780 6GB for now and save the rest for the 800 series

Go triple 290's. X or non doesn't really matter. That's the best performance you can get for your money.

Advice: Don't do that, it hurts.

the amount you pay for 2 titan blacks

 

you can pay for 3 way CrossFire 290s with water cooling using the Kraken G10 and Kraken X41 combos

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

You do realise the titan blacks are basically the 780 ti's but with 6gb vram buffer?

Yes...?  I don't think I compared them in my post, the OP did.  I don't think the Titan Blacks are worth it for the extra $300 - $400.  But that's just my $.02.

That's opinion.

I would go for SLI Titan Black because by the time you get anywhere close to utilizing the full power of those cards, you are going to go over 3GB of Vram. In SLI with high end cards. 3GB just isn't enough.

like i said before you can opt for 295X2 with the price you pay for the dual Titan Blacks

Was he asking about the 295X2? No he was asking Titan Blacks or 780 tis. Answer the question he is asking, it's like seeing a multiple choice quiz and writing in your own answer.

KappaKing we are giving logical advice

 

if you still think 2 GPU can beat 3 GPU setups then prove us wrong with real benchmarks
