The most power single gpu? Gtx Titan.

Specs don't matter most of the time and you want to focus more on benchmarks for whatever you want to do with it.

 

What's you situation? Are you upgrading the graphics of a preexisting system or making a new one altogether?

Best card: Titan. Best card you're most likely looking for, and might buy: GTX 780 SLI.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

7950 is a great choice, but yes the Titan is the most powerful single chip card. What's your budget?

The best card for gaming is the Titan, the second best card is the 780, and then I guess the next I would consider because AMD upped their game with frame rating (and dropped prices) would be the 7990.

Gamming? like this gamming> Gamming: Nautical . (of the officers and crews of two whaling vessels) to visit or converse with one another for social purposes.

 

I don't think a graphics card will help you in that situation, better go with small talk instead.

if nvidia -600 and above(most probably the 700 series now) and if amd the 700 series. if you can wait for a little bit time you can (maybe) have a 9xxx series gpu.  as for my concern 700 series is good(780) and the titan.

Before the latest drivers came out, that would have been a terrible suggestion.

You might want to tell us the games you play / intend to play

The system you are going to run the GPU in [specs]

and the amount of money you wish to spend on it.

>_> RadeonPro pretty much fixed the micro-stuttering problems anyway just not many people knew about it.

If you have the money, the GTX 780 is a BEAST card.  Yes the Titan is better, but it is around $400 more for not that much performance gain in games.

If you can wait the 9970 might be what you're looking for, if you can’t the 780 and Titan are your best bet for single GPU gaming performance.

Want ultra graphics? Wait for the Xbox one!!!!!! But seriously, Quantum says it best. If you have the money go with the 780.  Titan doesn't make sense unless you have a lot of extra cash sitting around.

Nice consensus. GK110 if you have the cash otherwise get a 7950. If you need more fps, but another 7950.

I doubt a 7770/7790 wouldn't have any problems with even the newest games...

A 7950 would be if you couldn't stand anything lower than high for settings.

Quad SLI GTX Titans overclocked on liquid helium.

 

Give us a budget.

I have an Asus 760 OC... I would recommend it to anyone. It's a great card and it's not too expensive.  A little less than $300 I think.  Anyways you could get 2 of those and SLI them together.  Also this graphics card comes with a software called GPU tweak, which allows you to very easily overclock the GPU.

A 7950: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026 or the 7970: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008

These two cards are great cards for overclocking and offer great performance for the price.
