SOOooo... I currently own 2 Titan Blacks and they're installed in the following machine:
i7-4930K
32gb RAM
Asus X79 Deluxe
H100i
EVGA P1 1000w
My question is this... Should I stick with the Blacks or go with 3 R9 280X 6GB? I know this sounds crazy, so here's the back-story:
This is for a dual-boot Hackintosh. The OS X side won't accept any of the AMD Hawaii based cards, and the 280X can be configured to run 4K at 60Hz (on OS X), while no Nvidia card can (other than the MacBook Retina's 750M). With the Black's I have 60Hz on Windows but only 30Hz on OS X (damn shame because Apple has achieved a MUCH better scaling algorithm than Microsoft), but they are very powerful cards and very useful on both OS's.
I am an Industrial Designer and a gamer that just made a Mac to PC // Console to PC switch (hence the X79 Hackintosh), but work comes first. What is everyone's opinions on three of the R9 280X cards vs. the two Titan Blacks? Which would perform better with gaming? Considering I can survive without CUDA, I think AMD will provide better results with viewfinders and OpenCL rendering yeah?

but in dp performance the titan blacks are double what the 3 280x's are theoretically capabl of! so id keep the blacks xD ( the dp perforance should help for the opencl rendering i would think)
