Question 1

How much better is this than a GTX 580?

Accepted Answer

Well it will definetly outperform a single 580 by a good margin. I believe it will also outperform multiple 580's but I haven't seen it compared to the 500 series GPU's. The Titan is a single card solution for those who need the power of a 690. I really like the card so far as it blows my 660 Ti out of the water, which I believe outperformed a 580. For a better answer (I don't feel like looking at benchmarks because I have class in a bit) Google for a benchmark comparison. Although I can't reccomend buying the card because it is overpriced, for much better performance at a reasonable price get multiple 780's if you can fit it.

Question 2

Is GTX Titan better than GTX 780 Ti? i don't know what to choose. i want to run 3 monitor.

Accepted Answer

Well it will bring down the price of the Titan due to the the performance of the Ti 780 being cheaper to counter amd's Radeon 290x which is also high performance for cheaper price.
I have a Titan for the sole purpose of multi tasking between 2 games at the same time but both have decent requirements.
The Ti would be for a solo monitor but would harness all it's memory (3GB) to that one game like battlefield 4 and would have better performance than the Titan. But you are splitting up memory between monitors and being that the Titan has plenty of it, in my opinion, it would do well enough on the games today and being you want to triple monitor I would go for the Titan but after the price lowers to save money. The low fan noise is also a big plus for me.

Question 3

Is this compatible with ASRock LGA1150/Intel Z87/DDR3/Quad CrossFireX and Quad SLI/SATA3 and USB 3.0/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard Z87M EXTREME4? Will it cover up at least the PCIe 2.0 slot?

If not, is there a similar motherboard you'd recommend that works with it?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is that it should.  A firmware update on the motherboard may be required. a better answer is that you should be looking to use a 16x slot for the card.  If not then bottlenecks would prevent the card from preforming.  I personally like all the EVGA motherboard products.  Are they always the best.  Of course not but they are usually simplest to use without many of the typical issues found on cheaper designs.  This is the kind of issue that occurs when using a previous generation motherboard with the latest hardware.  The reason is that the motherboard was not tested with the card.  Why.  Because it was not in existence when the motherboard was designed and tested.

Question 4

Is this card compatible with my ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS?

Accepted Answer

I Think you should be fine, since the card supports PCI Express 3.0 and and is backwards compatible with older PCI slots like 2.0 (The one your motherboard).

Another thought I would like to bring up, is unless you plan on using the computing power of this card for things like graphic design or, are going to plan on playing games that use vary high amounts of v-ram (Vary few will use more than 3 GB but there are exceptions.) you should consider the GTX 780 Ti Superclocked as it should perform better in most games and will cost about $300.00 less.
