If the demand is high enough, sure. But I would think that it's better to just see if if anything out there is actually going to need more than 2GB of VRAM outside of insane tri-monitor setups. Even at 1440p/1600p with max AA/AF settings, I don't see the GTX 690 not being able to handle it. 680 SLI setups seem to handle BF3 butter smooth with Ultra/16xAF/4xAA @ 1440p/1600p. Don't see why that wouldn't be the case here.

It looks like Nvidia is shooting for the $999 price point for their GTX 690 simply by looking at the materials they are using like magnesium fan housing and high quality plastics. I have to say that the GTX 690 looks drop dead gorgeous, best one yet! If you don't like the price don't buy one, but if you choose not to buy one don't complain about it!

At 60 frames, right ? @1080p / 120hz even SLI 680 would have problem delivering constant 120 FPS.

Edit: I would love to have the card for 1K price take is not just money spend but also when it comes time to upgrade it its a lot of money lost.

Thank you very much dude that will help,

Nice to see other people also suffer to get NVidia latest Gpu,

If i want to w8 to buy gtx 660 from local store it will take forever and will be 2k$ biggrin.gif

So must use this trick wahaha,

Gtx 690 is little unjustified , i think should 950$ should be the price, and they have to create GTX 695 with 4GB and better components etc.. then price it 1100$

this is the reason ppl wont buy 690
1) dont have motherboard can support 2x gtx 680
2) dont need that much power 1 gpu enough
3) price cant afford ( regardless its justified or not)

so nvidia should think this way if they really target the 2-5% who have the money and who is welling to buy it for performance then they are wrong
becuase person who want that performance he have the $$ to buy 2x gtx 680 and the motherboard to support it, and will acheive better then single gtx 690

so nvidia will sell only for this kind of customers , who need big performance but in small case or small area dont want huge tower etc...
2nd kind of customers who want to even acheive higiest benchmarks and performance 2-5% , who will put 2xgtx 690, witch will be better then 3xgtx 680
in certin point of view , less cooling to do easier to set up,also will fit in motherboard dont have enough pci slots for quad 680

I am sorry, but am i the only one who do not know what this guy above me is talking about ? From what i can tell though, its similar to most of these " 2x680 vs. 690 / 1K$ not justified / etc. " posts. And from what i understand, the user above me is completely wrong. I just dont feel like adding more fuel to the fire by providing an explanation. You can believe what you want.

A agree with you...Too bad some of those materials are useless for some people because you will remove them anyways.

One card, one water block. Quad "SLI" with 2 cards. Esprcially justified IF and this is a big IF, the cards actually come close to 680 single cards in SLI.
