If that's your primary setup, the Titan will go a long way from your 670s. Right now for triple monitor gaming, NV is not looking so hot. GTX690 is just 31% faster than a 7970GE and once you crank AA higher, it's game over for the entire GTX600 range: http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/2013/test-17-grafikkarten-im-vergleich/3/ As far as Crysis 3 goes, apparently the game has way superior graphics in single player. It's not even close from the pictures I've seen. As a result, the single player Very High hammers GPUs. You'll need 3 Titans just to max out Crysis 3 in single player on 3x 1080P screens because 1 Titan ~ GTX690! Here are new single player Crysis 3 benches with NV's latest 314.07 drivers. Looks like Crytek did an excellent job as C3 scales very well with multi-core CPUs. FX8350 is beating i7 2600K! Although for 3 Titans I hope you have an i7 3930K @ 4.5-5.0ghz :) AnandTech reported that their Titan card Boosted to 992mhz without any overclocking. Also, other reviewers said they managed to overclock the Titan to 1176mhz on the stock cooler. $3K is a lot of dough. Not sure it's worth spending that much for a game with a campaign that's maybe 10 hours? You could always play it on High and save yourself $1K. |
Yeah those benchmarks are nuts. Im waiting for more official Crysis 3 benchamkrs as well as the Titan benchamrks emargo to be lifted. The more I think about it, a 7970 seems like the best investment at this point. They should hit 300 bucks in a few months as I already see them for 349. I also may decide to wait until later this year and ride out my GTX 670s...
Looking at CPU benchmakrs, it's encouraging for AMD to see game development move away from 2-3 CPU usage. By the looks of things, AMD will have another CPU in the AM3+ socket - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/SABERTOOTH-990FX-GEN3-ASUS-Motherboard,21140.html
Why else would Asus be making PCIe 3.0 enabled board? 8350 doesn't support it.
