the answer is.. neither =) choose Titans insted =)

cheers

update: why?

well, Tesla K20, is designed to work more efficiently, isn't tune so agresivelly to run a bit cooler to. Plus it has 5GB, while Titan 6GB & 690 has 2x2GB. Price wise, Titans are similar prised to 690, but way lower than Big T. To finish, Ts were disigned for different work, they are faster at DP /dual precision/ based operation & do have ECC, that Octane doesn't take any advantage of =) so if You have 3k to spend..Take 3x Titans instead =)

cheers

two or three Titans If you need more than 3GB, otherwise GTX780i faster and cheaper than the Titan.
quad Titan Kepler 6GB + quad Titan X Pascal 12GB + quad GTX1080 8GB + dual GTX1080Ti 11GB
