    Forget that. I would rather have the Titan Black.

    Looks nice, I wanna see a heads up comparison of the titan z and this bad boy. What does the community guess, 90% gaming performance 30% greater tflops, cooler, quieter, 2/3 the memory, and 50% the price? If they would have dumped the briefcase and artsy fartsy shroud, they could have cracked $1100 for it. 
     
    I will admit, I am considering it, but only considering it at this point. Especially since the rumors and leaks on maxwell point to this nvidia strategy of claim a midrange chip is top end and charge uber 1337 prices on actual top end cards as nvidia's business model going into the foreseeable future.

    $1500?, I picked up an ASUS R9 290X DCII OC for around $550, if I really needed as much GPU power as a 295x I would just pick up another 290X for CF instead of shelling out $1500.

    How do you like it? I'm running sli 670 FTW SG2 under water right now @ 5760x1200, I can get decent frame rates with settings lowered, but I've been seriously considering going to 2-R9 290X, local microcenter has the asus you purchased and the gigabyte windforce in stock for $5XX. Figure two would last me for awhile at my res and really can't beat the performance:price ratio..
