What is the best option?
I use 1 monitor which can take 3K and some of
my games use 2K textures.
I only care about performance, noise doesn't matter since I use headset.
I'm also open for other ideas and cards.
Thanks.

Titan is only any good if you want to burn through as much money as possible. A 780 does the exact same thing and saves cash.

A better solution is a 780 GTX for $650 which is on par with a titan, or two 770 2/4 Gig in SLI which would be $800-900 which is cheaper and faster than titian. Also two 680 in SLI are faster than a titan as well (in games that don't have issues with SLI).

You posted your question twice:

Do you already own a GTX 680? (If not buy the GTX 770 instead. Cheaper, faster).

Dumping $1,000 into a single GPU is not very cost effective. The GTX 780 is close to the same but only $650. That said, two GTX 680 or GTX 770's will beat a GTX 780.

If you're doing 2k and 3k though a single fast GPU with a large amount of RAM is a good idea.

But if you can budget a Titan, Buy two 770's instead. Or push to 2 780's for slightly more thn the titan, but comparable to running two Titans.

And all the answers on the second thread have been deleted -.-

Hi

If you are not price limited then go for a couple of 4GB (for the higher texture @3K) GTX770, @$450 each probly the best deal/performance, maybe different in states.

GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD is great but you need x3 spacing for SLI.

Have Fun

GTX 780 SLI $1300
Titan $1050

780sli will smoke a single Titan.

I'm thinking GTX 770 4GB SLI or GTX 780 SLI as better options than a single Titan. Just get way more performance for your dollar.

Get a GTX 780 or if you want an OVERKILL, go for TWO GTX 780's. One 780 will also do the jobon ultra high graphics at 2560 x 1600.
Buy the GTX TITAN only if you run THREE monitors at high resolution as here only the 6 GB Memory of the TITAN will come into use or it is useless.

What are your system specifications?
