I have the Asus 780 ti and Bf4 and far cry 3 and 3 gb is more than enough for these games at 1440p - BF4 uses about 2.2 gb on ultra at 1440p.

Bf 4 potentially can use more vram if you change the scaling to 200% for example - In this case two 780 ti with 6gb of ram would be the best way to go however for most scenarios 3 gb is plenty.

COD Ghosts also uses over 3gb of vram however I think that's is poor optimization.

If you can wait the 6gb would probably last longer and a better option for sli with extreme resolutions and multi monitor setups.

If you have money to spare, get a Titan. If you have lots of money to spare, get sli titans. Alternatively, if you have no beef with amd, get an r9 290x or two as their 4gb is the best you are going to get outside a Titan.

What? The Titan is almost a useless card. The 780ti is cheaper and faster.

If you are going to be doing multi-monitors, then yes, get a 6gb card.

The 6gb ti was talked about mainly as a possibility pre release of 780 ti. You should be fine with 3gn vram however since you have already hit that area, it seems likely to me next gen games will push you over that border.
