Possibly getting 1 myself to get the most out of my 120Hz monitor, may end getting a 2nd 680 or possibly going for a 690. Prices and benches will decide it for me mostly - just never been keen on SLI with the scaling being hit and miss and micro-stutter (I want smoothness damnit, not jittery ***p!)

All i can say is that the 690 does not suffer from any microstutter and scaling issues.

Those are issues of the past with old dual cards and immature driver support, The 690's design changed all that as you can read from the many reviews that was posted at time of release.

As for SLI 680's, again no issues and even if there are they are very minimal.

Also nvidia inspector SLI profile/AA custom flags are out right away as soon as a game is released.

Theres tons of profiles in here regarding almost everygame out-there powerful enough to utilize 2 gpu's.
 
To all the haters .... at least someone in MM is doing something about it and trying to fund for his next big purchase

Not run them in quad sli yet as my board wouldn't run them. Allthough i've just bagged a 3960x and just waiting on a board now so will let you know once tested.

Yer, I see you got that in the MM, nice one :) I look forward to your results.

Kaapstad runs Quad as well but not sure he plays anything modern. He is still on Civilization V (awsome game).

Gone off the idea now personally due to the price. I'm only using single monitor 1440p at 60mhz and I think it's a bit overkill at the expected price. I can see how with multiple monitor setups it would make much more sense. I may wait until the reviews/benchmarks on Thursday before completely deciding and maybe pick up a second hand 690 instead if I cant get a new 690 then at a decent price. If neck and neck with the 690 at 1440p for £830 I would be interested again but going by a few more trusted comments on here I doubt that will be the case, probably will be slower than that and more expensive!. I don't game a massive amount and even a 690 is probably too much but at least will last me a good while.
I'm still happy with an old 1200p monitor I have so should games need more memory in the next few years for 1440p I can step a grade in resolution and still be happy with the performance for a while longer.

One thing that is concerning is, if the Titan is only say 30% faster than a GTX 680, does that mean we can only expect the GTX 780 to be 10% - 15% than the 680? This would make the new gen the worst ever in terms of progression and prices.

If AMD launch a card that is 25% faster than the HD 7970 it would make the Titan and possibly 7XX series look very silly. (Overpriced and under performing).

This card is definitely a strange beast of a GPU. Still umming and arring over whether to buy one or not. If I knew Titan would be leading GPU for rest of year it would make a difference, but we've no idea when new cards are coming?!
 
lets wait for the 1.1-1.2ghz oc game benches shall we, only then will we know the true picture, maybe that's where the originally touted "upto 85%" performance increase came from, even if it does seem highly unlikely to be true now

Nice CPU, 2400mhz ram works well with this CPU, mine runs @2400mhz 9,11,11, 1T 25,96 with tight subs 24/7 and can oc higher.

Mostly Civ 5 but I have had quick goes on BF3, FC3, Skyrim mostly to check scaling for other people.

It was Civ 5 that got me into heavy graphics, I have been trying to build a system since my 5970s/i7 975 that can run Civ 5 well @ the late game stage on a huge map without freezing up. 2 x GTX 690s/3960x can just about do it.

It will be interesting to see what the Titans can do.:D

The guys in the Civ5 game thread thought I was joking until they downloaded one of my saved games.:D

From the only tests we have seen the Titan was 35% faster than a 7970 overall and 42.5% faster than a 680.

However, reviewers have (for some reason) been muted. I don't know why this is but it could be a bad driver or Nvidia not wanting performance to be out there before people put in orders.

There's absolutely no doubt (not even to me) that performance will improve because that always happens with any new card. It's just whether Nvidia can be bothered to support the drivers properly given that so few people will be using them.

It's kind of like Quad SLI really. Not enough people use it to make them want to spend out money on support and drivers.

I'll be running some RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH 2133Mhz. Should be able to squeeze 2400Mhz out of em! with some persuasion.
