    If you want compatibility and ease of use, then a single GPU -- The bigger, the better.
    If you want the most performance with decreased compatibility, then multiple GPUs.

    If someone is buying two GTX 760s to match, or exceed the performance of a single GTX 780 while trying to save some money, then I'd say the best course of action would be to just go with the GTX 780 right from the start. SLI scaling isn't always that great and adding in a second GTX 780 down the line when the budget allows for it is going to exceed the performance of sandwiching a third GTX 760 into the system; and that's if the system/case will even allow for a third GPU.

    The above example is based off of the prices at launch of aforementioned GPUs -- There is currently no GTX 960 so the same comparison cannot be made with current generation hardware.

    It seems I'll just stay with the titan until such a time they release the 980Ti , I appreciate you response on this issue.
    I am able to run 5 clients with no problems, so 10 under my same system should cause no big issues.
    I could support a 3rd video card with the giant case i have, and probably never have to heat my apartment again with the heat generated by that system...lol

    Thanx

    If I was in your situation I'd probably try to find a used Titan on eBay or something like that going for cheap so that I could SLI them together and hold me over.

    I'm running two Titans now. I haven't boxed in months, but when I did I wasn't that impressed. It's not like I could run all 5 windows (1920x1080) at max settings. I stopped ten (and 20 boxing) a while ago so not sure what improvement I would see there.

    edit: I am running two monitors at 1920x1080 if you were wondering. 3930, 64GB ram, Samsung 840 pro x2, blah blah

    Word on the street is that these are the new Titan II specs:


    • 28 nm.
    • 551 mm².
    • 3072 CUDA cores.
    • 384-bit GDDR5.
    • 12 GB VRAM.
    • 1100 MHz stock, 1390 MHz Boost

    EDIT: I've also edited the title of the thread since it has moved away from just a GTX 980.

    BTW, not sure if any of y'all are interested but if anyone picking up one of the bleeding-edge cards is interested in getting rid of your older 780Ti, let me know. I'd rather keep the money In The Family rather than buying new if I can find one that's been treated well.

    I think I'm going to skip over these (most likely) $1,000 28nm Titans and wait for the big boy 20nm Maxwell next year when the GTX 980 Tis are released. I'll most likely be selling two out of the three of my GTX 780 Tis (gotta move one over to the secondary machine to power my web browsing and IRC >_>) and if you're still interested then I'll let you know.

    I realize that's probably quite a ways away.
