I think the information looks possible. My guess is the card will be around $700+ USD.

The card might have some other comprises however 5-15% difference depending on the game or the test would be my guess.

The Titan X will probably OC better and more cuda cores = more benifits from the OC. My guess is the components will probably be a bit better on the Titan X however you will save money.

Silicon lottery is also a factor because if you get a good card that overclocks well then you will also get more performance out the card.

My guess is companies will release non references cards and will offer more performance for a small premium.

I suggest you get one and if you're not satisfied get another...

" There are benefits to using a single card Solution"

I'm using a Titan X for a 1440p 144 hz monitor & I happy however I wouldn't mind some more power for some Titles...

One of my friends just bought 2 x Titan X's and he is happy...
Hopefully MFAA will be able to be used with SLI configs in the future...

When MFAA is enabled it reduces the performance hit of MSAA and the game looks almost as good...

Nothing else comes to mind however some games don't support SLI.

For example I was playing dead rising 3 with one of my friends and he told me that the dead rising engine doesn't support SLI.

I didn't verify however i'm assuming he did the research because he has 2 x 980's/

Apparently Wolfenstein new order and old blood don't support SLI however even as 980 with an I7 will give you a solid 60 at 1440p.

If you're a Noob, I suggest you get a single card 980 ti or "Titan X" or Titan X SLI for the best possible experience and the least compromises however you will still encounter the SLI issue's.

I"m glad I got a mini ITX because otherwise I would probalby have 2 x Titan X's in SLI lol

The Titan X overclocks well however it depends on the silcon lottery. If you get a decent performance increase.

Hmm... I know SLI has its problems, but I still might go with 980Ti SLI. I just wanna wait and see how much it'll cost and that will help me make my decision.
And like you said, if a game doesn't support SLI, one 980Ti should get the job done.

the 980ti will probably be priced in-between the 980 and titan x, which in the uk will be around 750 quid which i wouldnt dare spend on a gpu, max id spend is probably around 350-400 on a single gpu but hey thats me. will be going from one 970 to two 970s when i can afford it.

Should be okay if you have good air flow with a good fan setup.

I suggest you get the closed loop non reference if it comes out.
