Ok I should clarify what I meant about that d!ck bragging comment.   I have nothing against people with SLI, or multiple powerful cards.  However this card is kinda like the i7-3970X.  Sure it IS the strongest, but not by that much, and the price increase to get there is crazy not worth it.   

If you have 2x670's or even a 690 in some circumstances, you are NOT an idiot.  However if you have 3xTitans...

 

P.S.  For multimonitor gaming, 7970's are the only option IMO.  Also I am not convinced Nvidia 3D is all that much better than Tridef.  I mean at least tridef works on ALL games and it doesn't require a 120 HZ monitor which almost always costs $400-$500.

I'd say that the 4GB versions of 680's and 670s are also a viable option. Even the 3 GB 660Ti in tri SLI could work for multi monitor setup.

And I've used Tridef and Nvidia 3D vision for many years now and 3D vision is better(but you pay for it). Both have some advantages... for example, Tridef is good if you don't mind playing around with settings and waiting for communuty to provide 3D game profiles. But if you want a controlled quality experience and don't mind paying for it, Nvidia 3D vision runs circles around Tridef. 

Speaking of Titan's, they have implemented some really cool features. Apparently it is able to overclock your monitor to it's maximum refresh rate and then make that refresh rate the VSYNC default. Also it turbo-boosts much higher depending on temperature of the card. The tech sites are not allowed to give benchmarks yet but it looks like Nvidia went all out here...

I am strictly looking at multi monitor benchmakrs here and in a few days when they are available, only thing that could justify the Titan is if Titan tri SLI gives 100+ fps in 5760x1080 on games like Crysis 3 and BF3 while tri 680 and 7970 can't even do 60... In that case, I'd say it's actually worth it.
