Here's my million dollar question, how smooth did Watchdogs play on these cards in SLI? My 780 SLI can get an average of about 70 fps @ 1440p completely maxed out but the moment I start riding a vehicle with any sort of speed, the frame rate tanks to about 20 - 30. It recovers very quickly but it still making the driving choppy. I've even heard it doesn't run well at 1080 maxed on Titan SLI. I heard the frames don't tank quite as hard but it's sounds to me like it's not well optimized. I have other games that use all the 3gb of vram on my cards but still play like butter. I would love to see some 6gb card and 8gb AMD card results.

WD runs like crap on both Nvidia and AMD, but strangely not for everyone, including cards with sufficient Vram.
I think everyone gets the low FPS while driving though, not sure what causes it.
The game uses a lot of Vram on high and ultra settings, at 1080p my Vram usage is around 3.3gb constantly, going higher in places like up to 3.8gb.
Not played much of it though because I have a really low frame rate for some reason. Even on medium settings I struggle to get 50fps, I don't have any problems with any other games so I know it isn't my PC and i'm using the 14.6 drivers AMD released for better performance.

Well after that review, my mind is certainly made up now, I'm definitely going to get the twins instead of a Poseidon or any other singular card, I've been toying with the idea of them for a few months, and then RK released that teaser of them, and I been wanting to see this review ever since but was leaning towards the singular card option instead.
Now I just got to make my mind up with the case, Corsair Obsidian 750D or NZXT H440, I am leaning towards the 750D along with a Maximus VII Hero and Frontbase (although I would love to get hold of one of the new Maximus VII Formula boards), and wc the cpu and heatsink, paired with the new 4790K cpu and 16GB Vengeance Pro memory, so thank you TTL for helping me now I've seen that with making my mind up on things, now I just got to finish getting money together and ordering the parts in about a weeks time, if not sooner.
TTL, can you answer me just one Question though please. What size PSU would be needed for the twins?, would a RM 650 be enough or would need to get the RM 750?

Id actually get the RM850 and then youll know its going to run cool and quiet dude. They would probably work on the 650 but it would be running well over 500w most of the time while heavy gaming Id expect. Getting the 850 just givesyou a nice bit of headroom to make sure the fans are so quiet they might as not be on.

Thank you for that, I'm really looking forward to building up my new rig, it might not be the best of everything, but it will certainly work well enough, and also it is major upgrade to what I currently got

My apologies Guv, I forgot to thank you for another great review. The game completely distracted me from the topic.

Not too sure it is the VRAM problem, There are games out there that look better and use less VRAM, GTA4 with a few mods looks as good as WD and doesn't use 3-4GB.
People must remember especially El Guvonator seeing as you don't really game a lot, Ubisoft are known for terrible optimizations or lack there of.
Take Assassins Creed 4 for example, The Physx patch for Nvidia cards is terrible, I've done testing while looking at a wall, A WALL, And turned Physx off and on, Off my FPS remained at 60, On they shot down to the 30's and 40's, Looking at a wall and it gets even worse once you venture out into the world not to mention the particle effects from smoke.
Ubisoft does not do optimizations at the level of other companies, If they did we would see WD use less VRAM, Maybe not a huge amount more but definitely a lot less.
