After testing the new GeForce GTX Titan in a single-GPU configuration, we moved on to testing two and 3-way SLI multi-GPU modes. For reference purposes, we've left the dual-GPU powered GeForce GTX 690 in the graphs (this is NOT quad-SLI) and doubled-up on the GeForce GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition cards as well.

SLI and CrossFire Testing

Multi-GPU Configurations

The Hitman: Absolution benchmark didn't want to scale past two GPUs with the GeForce GTX Titan, but it didn't really matter. Two of these cards outpace everything else in this game once you hit higher resolutions. And performance is only going to get better once the game scales properly.

The GeForce GTX Titans ruled the roost in the Batman: Arkham City benchmark. The two GeForce GTX Titan card setup outpaced everything else by a wide margin and things only got better--though not by much--once the third card was added to the mix. Note that the Radeons did not scale properly at all in this game.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
