Hey man. So I've got a 3rd Titan Black on order and I'm absolutely praying that it works well and doesn't give me headaches.

Do you have any 3 GPU benchmarks you can point me to?

How are air temps? Water is on the cards but not for a while now due to third Titan Black...

I mainly play very demanding games, hence why I'm risking it here (though it wouldn't be a risk because I can always give it to my wife FNARR lol).

So yeah, help and any advice you can give would be warmly welcomed old bean.

The Keplar Titans normally scale much the same as the Maxwell 9 series going from 1 to 2 to 3 cards.

Games which have very good scaling for 3 cards are

BF3
BF4
Crysis 3
SEV2
SEV3
TR
Sleeping Dogs
Thief (should be good but not tried it yet)

Some games like
Batman
Metro

Are not much use for a 3rd card but with these you can use the extra card for PhysX.

Make sure you are using a decent resolution and settings or the CPU will bottleneck the cards.

It is a long time since I ran Titans on air but the coolers were up to it even 4 up and performed a lot better than the ref 980 ones. You may have to use a custom fan profile though.
 
Didn't you ruin a whole thread the other day arguing with people that having more than two cards for gaming is utterly pointless? :D
 
Was referring to Andy! I read these forums enough to know you like your GPUs kaap :)

I'm a bit of a scientist me. So, I will no doubt spend £400 just to see if it's crap, then definitively say it's crap :D

I'm not too worried because my lady's 7990 is starting to creak a little so I can always give her one (hahaha).

:D
