I am fairly certain that a GTX 780 would give an average of 60 FPS or more on Crysis 3 with very high quality and FXAA.

Sure it may not be "maxed out" technically but it sure looks 98% maxed out. :)

I don't know, sometimes, even the GTX 690 struggles to maintain a solid framerate, especially after the most recent update. Both it and Metro, in fact, are give and take. 

"Maxed Out" to me is just that - everything juiced up with hardly any hit to framerate (i.e. keeping at least 60FPS the whole way).

Yeah that would require a minimum frame rate of 60 fps on max settings... You'd prolly need a 3930k OC'd and GTX Titan X3 to achieve that on max for Crysis and Metro.

Titanx3? Lord, I hope not! I'm about to grab 2, along with the 4960X, which should be plenty enough!

Here is a good reference for how many cards you need per game and resolution.

I am personally eyeing 3 GTX 770s, 4GB versions in the near future. May go full blown watercooling if I have time...
