Will I have enough VRAM to play any game on max settings with 2x GTX 780Ti K|NGP|N on a triple 1440p monitor setup?

I have been deciding which GPU I want to purchase for my new build for some time, and I know that this new rig I am building will definitely be a triple monitor setup, using 3 ASUS RoG Swift monitors at 2560x1440. Each K|NGP|N only has 2gb of VRAM so I was wondering if that would be sufficient for the build I want. I really want the K|NGP|N for it's supreme oc capabilities but if there are issues with not enough VRAM then I will go with my less preferred option, 2 titan blacks. Just looking for some help on if the VRAM will be enough to run the latest games on max settings without issue.

The cards will have the graphics horsepower to run the monitors, but simply wont have the Vram.
You need to look at 290x amounts of vram to get good results, probably 290x crossfire, or, as you stated, Titan Blacks.

The thing is when you run SLI/Crossfire or a Dual GPU Card you don't really have double the VRAM because each GPU's Ram will be identical to the other. So even though they are two 780's with 2 GB you're not getting 4GB total. Your still only gettings 2GB because they are mirror of each other and i don't think 2GB is good enough for that setup. you need 4GB cards for that.

Don't bother with either of the choices you mentioned. The GTX 980 is launching very soon and the early benchmarks (unofficial) have it a little bit higher than 780Ti and has 4GB of VRAM, so you could buy 3-4 of these for the same price as 2 Titan Blacks and get significantly better performance.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will listen around for the 900 series from nvidia before I buy any cards, as gridironcj said. If I'm not satisfied by them, then I'll just buy the titan blacks.

Another thing to consider..About the Asus RoG....From Asus's official website..Currently those monitors will gain nothing from crossfire/sli..The reason why..The monitors atm only focus from running from the PRIMARY video card atm....So you would eventually have one good monitor and 2 crappy..
