I'm also able to hit the 3GB limit of VRAM on my 780 Tis, and I'm going to guess that once I enter Pandaria/Draenor that number is going to continue to rise, so I would also like to have access to more than 4GB of VRAM to see if I can really push the limits -- I'm, of course, speaking strictly from a 2560x1080 x5 on Ultra + MSAA standpoint.
    What about (2)980's vs a single 980Ti? I intend to 10box and currently running a regular Titan 6gb.
    .....also have a single 34" monitor with (2) 20" on either side in portrait view. Possibly looking into a setup like yours (MiRai) except just 3 screens .
    ..... s l o w l y getting there

    No one can possibly know what the GTX 980 Ti will bring to the table if it's not going to be out for another year, but I find it hard to believe that nVidia is going to financially coast on GTX 970s and 980s.

    If you're getting less-than-optimal performance you either drop your settings, your FPS, and/or your resolution, or upgrade your hardware. If you're trying to gauge where a GTX Titan sits on the charts these days it's about as powerful as a normal GTX 780.

    Well i was asking your opinion about running 2 980's vs a single card.
    my system consists of a intel 6core 3.2Ghz, 64gb ram on a asus black edition rampage iv, ssd raid (overclocked to 4.0Ghz, stable)

    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.
