Technically, the Titan X is the best single NVIDIA GPU that supports two-way SLI, but it's a waste of money for most people.

Best GPU for 2 way SLI? I guess GTX 960 4G but SLI has bad scaling and crossfire is better.

If you need high end SLI then 980 Ti

Low end GTX 960 4G

980 ti, but new gpus from nvidia and amd are being released later this year so you should prob wait it out if you're thinking of building

Titan Z supports 2 way SLI and Titan X supports Quad SLI

The classification is two-way SLI. Yes, it supports four cards, but it also supports two cards. It doesn't say "only 2 way SLI." It just mentions it as a feature, which the Titan X most definitely supports.

 

And look at my wording: "Best single NVIDIA GPU" Titan Z is a dual-GPU card, and it does four-way SLI technically.

No need to get so defensive.. He prolly just misread your post and was just saying that it supports quad sli.

My post was not meant to be taken as "defensive," but that is the point of my post ultimately. Defending what I'm saying.

The Radeon Pro Duo is arguably both the fastest and most energy efficient graphics card in the world.

Next month I believe for $1499, yep, it's expensive, but that's the price for 16Tflops and a TDP of 350w.

No more expensive than the 295X2 was at launch.

I think you're missing the MSI GODLIKE X99 EATX. $2000 for a 6950X + Mobo.

Still expensive. At least AMD didn't charge $3000 for an inferior card and thermal throttling card. For that price you could buy two R9 295X2s.

New Broadwell-E chip. 10 core 20 thread, X99. Best 'enthusiast' grade chip you can buy, but if you really cared and had lots of money, the new Xeons are 22 core 44 thread :P if you really need that many cores for like rendering or multitasking, idk, 400 chrome tabs?

Indeed. The Titan Z's price was such a joke.
