Today we test with the AMD Catalyst 14.6 Beta driver and the Nvidia Forceware 340.43 driver.
We are using the new KitGuru Test rig, built to our specifications by DINOPC. You can see the hardware breakdown of this system over HERE.
We are featuring results today with an Apple 30 inch Cinema HD Display at 2560×1600 resolution and an Asus PQ321QE Ultra HD 4K screen running at 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution.

All the latest BIOS updates and drivers are used during testing. We perform generally under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru tests games across five closely matched runs and then average out the results to get an accurate median figure. If we use scripted benchmarks, they are mentioned on the relevant page.

Why always the talk of 6gb cards? Every benchmark I read suggests it doesn’t help a Titan Black leverage again a 780 Ti. I play games in 4k with two 780 Ti’s in sli and never see my vram usage hit 100%. The issue vs AMD cards is the 384 vs 512 bit bus. A Titan Black is simply wasteful for gaming purposes.
I am looking to get another 780ti for sli 2 way.. I game in 1440p Surround.. Will I be able to obtain 60fps on very high settings?
7680x1440p is very demanding; SLI 980Tis is what I use, but I use my 780Tis for 2650x1440p. I think if the 780Tis had 6GB of VRAM instead of 3GB they would do ok @7680×1440.
So true, I have my Asus Rog Matrix 780ti on ebay as we speak, I will miss it for sure though, decided to go for 980ti’s – for the ports at the back too.
