Triple 1080p monitors is 75% of 4k, and 50% more than 2560x1600p, so it should help for multiple monitor setups as well.

I guess no Maxwell coming, unlike some people's crazy guesses, since Maxwell isn't even in NV's hands really.

Nv has Maxwell samples, but TSMC isn't pumping out volume until Q1. Nobody thought it was maxwell...

Would a 6GB card without DP work well for workstations over Titan, if they don't need the DP, or will NV do some driver crippling as both tend to seem to do?

It is getting really difficult to control my urge seriously :)

It's easy. A 2nd $500 GTX780 + OC on both of your cards is better than any 780Ti. :thumbsup:

However, if you waited this long to upgrade, chances are your single card is fast enough; otherwise you wouldn't need a reason to upgrade. With Maxwell/20nm GPUs likely 12 months or less away, it's not particularly smart to drop $700+ on cards like 780Ti unless you happen to be in the crowd where "price doesn't matter" but in that case you'd be running 3 or 4 780s already.

Titan already uses Geforce drivers, so it's not optimized for pro applications. As far as DP goes, it's not practical without ECC RAM anyway, so it's not a factor for either card in professional use.

With that said, unless you run an app that has stability issues without the Quadro drivers (not a common problem) A card like the Titan, or whatever the new card is going to be, is powerful enough even without optimized drivers to run the apps. fine. Most workstations don't have $3000+ workstation cards in them, which is what these cards are equal to, silicon wise anyway. CUDA apps should be fine as well. Unless nVidia uses some sort of lockout (like they did with Adobe Premier). Generally there are hacks to get around that though.

EVGA themselves confirmed nvidia won't allow 6GB 780ti....

If anything this is a highly souped up 780ti PCB with 3GB VRAM.
