You can get a 780Ti, this card is a monster, and doesn't cost you a small car! And you can do SLI later when P3D implements it.

I think you mean the Titan X ... this is a single card running the equivalent of two Titan GPUs ... it's 12GB VRAM.  I believe the Titan X is not supposed to have some of the traditional bottlenecks you see in other Multi-GPU single card solutions ... hard to say until we see it released sometime this month ... it's about $3000 and I have no idea what supply will be like.  I might get one if I see some benefit over two single GPU Titan's in SLI.

 

Titan X? Do you mean the Titan Z?

Oops, yes the Titan Z ... sorry.

FYI, a single Titan (single GPU) is 6GB VRAM.

That 12GB of VRAM on the Titan Z is basically 6GB. Because cards in SLI don't double the usable VRAM. So two cards with 6GB each is not the equivalent of 12GB of VRAM.

 

 

So two cards with 6GB each is not the equivalent of 12GB of VRAM.

 

The Z can provide 12GB dedicated frame buffer memory.  For 3D applications it's true 6GB as texture data must be in local frame buffer ... but for applications using the GPU for general purpose computation processing the 12GB is fully accessable.  So technically it is 12GB, but because everyone thinks in terms of 3D applications they always break it out as 2 X 6GB.
