I went from a single GTX 680 to a dual Titan setup and speed seemed to go up more than 6-7 times, but that is only my impression because I did not benchmark it and I went to a newer and faster system as well.
Reason for the titan was memory and speed. I could get in 2 Titans plus a quadro k2000 and getting an equivalend with 600 or 700 series if cards would have been difficult giving the heating problems and slot arrangements.
I had hoped that I would get more texture slots, but that has not been the case which was a disappointment.
The additional memory was very welcome. I no longer need to convert highres bump maps to lowres ones and can render these in higher resolution
I did consider waiting for the new 800 series, but I decided not to wait since there is no indication about when the card models I need (memory, gpu cores) will be available.
Overall I am very happy with the new speed this gives me.
Configuration: Windows 11 Pro, I9 12900K, 128GB, RTX 3090, P12 b1029
