780 2-way sli vs two gtx690

While i'd imagine the 690's would be faster, the drivers for quad sli are poop from what i've heard/read. I'd go with 2x 780ti if it was me.
 
go for two 780ti cards, while the 690s may have a slightly better theoretical performance nothing really support more the 2 way crossfire or sli well.
 
Does anyone know a site who did a direct comparison? I can't find anything on this. I'd like to see a real life fps comparison, I could care less about theoretical.
 
the 780 ti hasn't been released for very long mate. i doubt there is any comparisons like that out there.

just trust us dual 780ti cards will be much better in a real life scenario. tri or quad sli, is pointless for almost anything. you'll also consume a extremely large amount of extra power when using dual 690s

lol, real life will be, the 780's are better because drivers for 2 way SLi are better, quad SLi is silly really. You'd save money on power, they probably run cooler and are on the whole better than getting a 690.

For pure penis flapping numbers, sure the 690's are gonna take it. But if you want a "real world" application answer, where you won't have to screw around with drivers and have something actually usable. The answer would be dual 780Ti's

P.S. Just realised nVidia missed a trick by not called them 780GTi's :)
 
GTX 690s will thrash a pair of 780ti's on the benches.

With games it is a different story, if quad sli support is there the 690s win if not the 780ti's will win. Tomb raider is a good game for the 690s and they have no problem beating out the 780ti's.

Here is some scores using the Tomb Raider bench

A word of caution though, the 780ti at the moment does not seem to perform as well as it should clock for clock against a GTX 690 in some of the games I have looked at. In theory going on the hardware a 780ti should be getting within about 5% of a GTX 690 clock for clock, at the moment this is not happening as much as it should but could change quite quickly with a driver update.
