Wow, very close to two 680's and as expected slightly slower. Very very nice job nvidia gg!!

When TurboBoost kick in, i see no difference at all between 690 and 2 680s, d 690s even beat it in a few instances.
So just as i thought, performance wise, both solutions is the same, once turbo kicks in. And you still have manual overclocking to play with. They come boss, GG. (reading the rest of reviews now).

Now finish my 2nd review.
Havent read each page of a review in a while, but ive just read the 27 page guru3d review, and now finish the pcperspective.

Good Grief this is a boss product. True SLI on ah stick.
Plus:
1. Better drivers than amd at the moment.
2. Better all-round scalling.
3. Lower TPD
4. Less Heat
5. GPU Boost Tech
6. Adaptive Vsync Tech (bess)
7. GeForce Experience

"For about the same cost, you can get either a GTX 690 or a pair of GTX 680s to run in SLI. There are some benefits to the GTX 690 though: you only use a single PCIe slot and only use two slots on your case, you have the capability to Quad SLI using only two cards, the noise levels are lower on the GTX 690, the power consumption is slightly better as well, you have fancy LED lights on top of your card so you can show everyone how awesome you are."

Need i say more? GTX 690 here i come!

Now the question is, wait on evga version wiht the liquid cooler built in, or rush it like ah green band maxi in port of spain, and buy waterblock later...decisions!

Edit:

Important:

It’s worth noting that because NVIDIA is using a 3rd party PCIe 3.0 bridge here that they’ve opened up PCIe 3.0 support compared to GTX 680. Whereas GTX 680 officially only supported PCIe 3.0 on Ivy Bridge systems – specifically excluding Sandy Bridge-E – NVIDIA is enabling PCIe 3.0 on SNB-E systems thanks to the use of the PLX bridge. So SNB-E system owners won’t need to resort to registry hacks to enable PCIe 3 and there doesn’t appear to be any stability concerns on SNB-E with the PLX bridge. Meanwhile for users with PCIe 2 systems such as SNB, the PLX bridge supports the simultaneous use of PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2, so regardless of the system used the GK104 GPUs will always be communicating with each other over PCIe 3.0.

captainchris · « **Reply #126 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:03:48 AM »

ebay and their over excited first prices

Redfish · « **Reply #127 on:** May 04, 2012, 01:21:19 AM »

A pretty impressive monster, I like the fact that they continue to make these cards use less power and produce less heat.

As always peeps need to note the resolution that they play at when choosing that new gpu.

I play at 1920X1200 so everyone can observe accordingly (not like most of y'all don't know this

)

Now I wanna see if the GTX 670 is gonna hit the sweet spot for potential upgrade later down this year for me and if to venture into sli with two of em of course after comparing bang for buck!!

ebay could suck ah egg with those prices.

@Red: 2 670s mite cost d same as a 680 and perform the same. Kepler's architecture is so efficient, it kinda defeating d purpose of sli oui, unless u want to go 3-way sli, otherwise, juss going with the next card up in the chain will gain you same performance @ same price with less hassle.

single slot 670's are in the works, if the rumors are true thats 4x sli easy! either way the 670 looks to be a winner

screw the 7970 or 680, 670 sli

My wallet is not as deep as some of you, at least for a new gpu. I'm waiting on gtx 650

Sadly, people rushing these cards at those ridiculous prices, so people (like me) who waiting on price drops (and coin, for that matter

),
have a a very long wait ahead of them... but yeah I no longer desire them 7950s, unless AMD does something really drastic with the price of course.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #135 on:** May 10, 2012, 05:49:51 PM »

Them 670s look very attractive i wont lie.

200$ less for virtually d same performance as 680 SLI oui. Even at high resolutions.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #136 on:** May 10, 2012, 08:04:56 PM »

I almost feel like a sucker for getting the 680's, where a mini, less power hungry version is nipping very closely on his big brother's heels.

Nvidia, wth? How do you justify charging $100 for 2fps more???

captainchris · « **Reply #137 on:** May 10, 2012, 09:08:19 PM »

size
power

oh my

gg nvidia

i`ll keep the 680s though

MessiaaH · « **Reply #138 on:** May 10, 2012, 09:12:00 PM »

Boy i was thinking 3 670s, but 3way sli not scaling nearly as good as dual, and it also have worse performance in a couple games. I still deliberating.

BTW, who responsible for updating the 3Dmark ladders, capt. should be wineing on 1st place all now. Need to bolt out d current holders and crown d new king.
