I might return a GTX 670 FTW

[Bones4]

I have two (2GB VRAM) in SLI and while it works wonders on some games, it also has a fair share or problems. Anyway, I'm thinking about returning one to Amazon (full refund) and selling the other one soon to get a GTX Titan (or 700 series equivalent). I'll have the same performance I have now, but without SLI problems and 6GB of VRAM...  for about $200 more.

Opinions?

The thing is though, you're not likely to sell the 670s for the price you bought them for.. did you account for that?

[Zeblote]

Good choice

[Bones4]

One is a full refund and I can get $350 for the other. I mean I really can. I have a buyer in person.

Do it.
You get a newer, single-slot card, more vram and you don't have to deal with SLI.

as well, you're going to find that the longer term reliability and performance is more than worth the one-time investment, since you'd have to upgrade 670's anyways and it's better to do it now when you know all the relevant info.

The titan hasn't really had the rigor testing and time testing of the 690 but so far it seems to be a very well performing card.
I would definitely say go with your plan.

I'm going to put it out there that the new 7990 has had better performance than the titan, I think it averaged a 30% higher FPS which is incredible.

That's biased bullstuff. It performs better in some things and not in others.

I don't really see how it's bullstuff, considering pretty much everything about it is better.

would you believe me if i said that games usually perform better on x brand of gpu if they are developed with x brand of gpu.

if a game was developed with almost entirely with nvidia 6xx cards then nvidia 6xx cards are obviously going to have the best performance at release day and maybe even years to come due to the fact that the games are tailored to that set of GPU brand.

7990 has higher FPS than titan in every game on earth, because 7990 is 2 GPU's together

Titan is a single GPU
titan is better than each of the GPU's the 7990 has, but not better than 2

On nearly every benchmark I could find, the 7990 performed better than the titan. There are some nvidia cards that perform better than the 7990 in some scenarios, but they are not the Titan.

I was thinking of the 690 which is dual GPU. Then again, besides the SLI issues, I get the same performance now as 690/7990.

yeah, i would pick a 690 over a 7990 any day
