Guys, I'm buying my first rig, and I made a brief research between EVGA 780 Classified w/ACX Cooler Vs. EVGA GTX TITAN Superclocked, there's not significant Texture fill rate difference, but more CUDA cores enabled, what impressed me is that the 780 is significantly faster then the TITAN (over 100MHz difference, not OC'ed), I want to play BF4, Metro: Last Light and CoD Ghosts on Ultra settings, 1080p, 3D enabled, and my target FPS would be 60+, any suggestions?

P.S: MONEY IS NOT A PROBLEM

If money is not a problem why are you looking into almost thousand dollar GPUS with a 1080p display?

Because 3D is limited to 1080p and halves framerate.

Go with the 780. The one advantage (if you can call it that) of the Titan is having more VRAM, at 1080p, this is completely worthless, even 3x 1080p is fine with 3GB.

Thanks for your response, I was aware that 3GB VRAM can easily run any game on a 3D 1080p monitor :)  getting a 6GB VRAM is a waste, I can get another 780 (which I might do soon after I get my PC), and end up with 6GB VRAM..

Thats not how VRAM works, the information stored in the video memory is mirrored between the cards, so you only get the effective VRAM of one card. Either way 6GB is completely unnecessary, even 5760x1080 Crysis 3 Ultra only breaks 3GB once you load on 8x MSAA, which you'd never do.

I wouldn't get two 780's even with 3D, one is fine. Better to focus on getting an overclockable CPU if you haven't already.

Wait then how come the GTX 690 has 4GB of VRAM when its really just two 2GB?

Because it doesn't, same as the 7990 is advertised as 6GB when its not.
