This might seem like a dumb question, but is SLI basically combining the power of 2 graphics cards for one output? |

Yes. Nvidia = SLI AMD = Crossfire |

Just to try and end the Titan/690 debate, a single Titan will only outperform one 690 in situations where SLI does not scale as well performance wise (leaving the 690 at a disadvantage) two Titans > one 690 two Titans < two 690s three Titans > two 690s four Titans > pretty much anything I would personally go with the Titan because there is room for more Titans. Once you get to 3-4 Titans you have power that can't be matched by two 690s, not to mention all of the other great features packed with a Titan. |
