My  current mobo says AMD Crossfire only on mention of SLI and Titan is NVidia not AMD

Then I would suggest that SLI is not compatible with your motherboard. As I said earlier, you can get dual-compatability motherboards like this one but they're not cheap.

 

Although the topic was written in 2007, the info may be of some use to you.

So if I got this right 780 SLI out performs Titan SLI? 

 

In most benchmarks and games yeah, as there is nothing that is anywhere near optimised enough to use all the power of the Titan.  The titan is largely silly apart from the epeen aspect, my 2 7950's in crossfire offer performance in most benchmarks pretty comparable to a Titan, and i paid 480 for the two cards, which was well under half of what one titan would have cost me at the time.

 

What motherboard have you got?  Might be worth checking for bios updates which may allow it to support SLI if it doesnt already.

Will double check when I'm home but I'm fairly sure that is the old motherboard I have, and If I'm right it came with an SLI bridge so it should support SLI.

I think with some it's just marketing only mentioning one, as my Asus motherboard only speaks about SLI even though it also supports crossfire. So I think AMD and Nvidia may pay to have their version mentioned, rather than the other.
