Would two 780tis be enough for 1080p display across 3 monitors for a while, Or should i go for titan blacks? I would like to game at ultra, but dont mind lowering SOME settings. Titans are just expensive, so the 780ti looks nice. Also, newer games are coming out real soon, and im a bit worried they will hog a nice portion of vram. What would be a wise choice?

I recommend waiting for the GTX880 cards at this point. They will be about the same performance for less money, and have 4GB per card.

Possibly only two months or so before you can get one though nobody knows for certain.

Also, if you didn't have the monitors yet I'd recommend gaming on a single Asus ROG Swift (G-Sync, 2560x1440). It's $800, coming soon, and for that I'd just get a single GTX880.

We're talking at least $100 per card more the GTX780Ti and the GTX880 should run much quieter as well. We know that because of the GTX750Ti power efficiency (Maxwell GPU architecture).

Titans of any card are just idiotic for a gamer. Titan Black is pretty much IDENTICAL to a GTX780Ti with good cooler. Thus, the GTX880 should be almost exactly the performance of the Titan Black for HALF the price (some of these numbers will change slightly of course but not by much).
