New NVIDIA Dual GPU card

[rodakin]

So I was wondering what graphics card I should get next. I'm more leaning towards NVIDIA cards rather than AMD, not sure why tough... So I was thinking first to get like a GTX 780 or 770 ot Titan, then thinking that I'm limited to 2-way SLI, so if I should make the most use of it, by getting a dual GPU card. Choises: GTX 690, Radeon 7990. Still leaning more on GTX 690, but I would like to have GPU Boost 2.0 for it. So I was wondering What do you guys think about something like a Titan X2 or 790?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??  

 

Dude you need to do some more research....

690 only has 2GB vram, you will be bottlenecked very quickly.

Get 2x 770 4GB if you really really want Nvidia setup.

or 7990 if you want single PCB with two GPUs.

@rodakin     what do you currently have (CPU,GPU,and PSU)

[Jrv01]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I've never heard of a Titan X2.  You can have 4-way SLI, but all the cards need to be the same. I think that if I get what you are thinking about, get 4 Titans

I think he means SLI titans

The 690 has only 2 gigs of V-Ram??? Oh, I thought that it has 4 gigs of V-Ram...

Yes, sorry.

It has 4gb but each card has 2 and vram does not stack up

Two down-clocked 680 on one PCB with 2GB vram each and since vram doesn't stack in SLI or Crossfire, it ends with 2GB only.

7990 has 3GB vram.

Actually its over 

[MrSuperb]

Actually its over

 

afaik it is a multi day event.

 

there will be a "super secret" announcement on October 21st

[The Great Sayain Man]

Titan Sli all the way (Or you can just go 780 sli and save 800$ while not loseing anything really important like power) 

[ivhyn]

That title is amazingly misleading ):

[NohbdyKnows]

afaik it is a multi day event.

*CORRECTION*     its over for today

[SkilledRebuilds]

I always think a thread like this is a BAIT & TROLL method. See it all the time.

 

Apart from the Nvidia event, and this Title......

 

OP doesnt give current system specs & sounds like he's dreaming.

But I'll give credit where its due....but it aint due yet.

[OneGun]

Booooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[KONA]

wait for the nvidia event to be over and wait for benchmarks of the Radeon 290x a lot of games seem to be "optimized" for AMD so it will nice to see some comparisons on something like BF4 running on a GTX780 Vs Radeon 290x and just see how much more they are optimized for AMD. 

[Mixzzz]

Actually you can put 780s in 3-way or 4-way SLI...http://videocardz.com/45253/nvidia-geforce-gtx-780-4-way-sli-possible-by-simple-modification Just a simple change in the driver....

@rodakin     what do you currently have (CPU,GPU,and PSU)

EVGA GTX 560 Ti 2GB OC @ 921MHz

GTX 690 has 2GB VRAM per GPU, but since their on the same piece of PCB you get to access it all, so it's 4GB of VRAM. Much like the HD 7990 has 2x3GB of VRAM for a total of 6GB.

That's what i said...
