Nope, the third and fourth gpu's in an sli configuration offer varying levels of improvements and often make some games run even worse than a double sli. Also the two gpus in the 780's are much more powerful than the 680 gpu's found in the 690, therefore u are good to go with the 780's.
 
I can't find a 780 SLI vs 690 SLI, but I do have one with 690 SLI and Titan SLI. An aftermarket 780 with a health OC from the factory is going to be similar if not faster than a Titan, so you can expect similar results as these benchmarks show: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_Titan_SLI/22.html

There are probably games the 690 SLI FPS are higher, but 780 SLI will be more consistent and have much fewer problems.
