The scaling will literally be the same. This is the first dual-GPU card Nvidia is releasing without having to compromise anything or cut corners, given how power efficient and cool Kepler runs. Same number of cores, i think one more power phase than a reference 680 (4 vs 5 on the 690), so the performance and OC headroom should be identical.

That said, no need to go through the trouble of switching from 680s in SLI to a 690, unless quad-SLI is in your future.

Really the only advantages of the GTX 690 over a pair of 680s is that it's going to be a tad bit more power efficient and quieter (since it's a single PCB instead of two), it will require less slots, and you'll only need to purchase a single waterblock if you watercool. Other than that, no need to fret if you've already got a pair of 680s. thumb.gif

That's kind of a hard question to answer given that we know absolutely NOTHING about your setup and/or needs... lol. Filling out your sig rig specs. is always a helpful thing for fellow members in helping us help you. wink.gif

I'm assuming that even if they don't, you should be able to open up the card and unplug the LED's power pin. Although I agree, it would be nice if something like Afterburner could turn it off down the road.

For me though...as much as I like the design overall...i'll probably end up putting this bad boy under water anyways. thumb.gif

I'm not one for aircooling much these days, but I have to say that is one SHARP looking cooler. drool.gif I would actually use that as a decoration piece if I bought one and slapped a waterblock on it. biggrin.gif

I'm definitely interested in seeing how these perform, especially since it doesn't appear to have much of any corner cutting in order to realize the full power of two GK104 chips. My previous experience with an HD5970 left a sour taste in my mouth with dual-GPU, single PCB cards, but I welcome a new attempt to change my opinion.

The only question is two of these, or wait for GK110... redface.gif

The only question is two of these, or wait for GK110... redface.gif

Agreed...i'll slap a waterblock on mine for sure, and then end up displaying the shroud. It's funny, because I have a buyer for my GTX 590 already and the 590 block, and he didn't want the fan shroud so i'll put that up for display as well, lol.

As for the wait for GK110...I would say pull the trigger on the 690 if it's between that or waiting. Nvidia's entire GTX 600 lineup is all going to have GK104 chips in them, and they seem content to really flood the market this time around. People think that the GTX 680 supply is being limited because they can't keep stock, but honestly, I believe that's completely false and they're using that tactic to drive up demand, and you'll see availability of the GTX 680 and 690 ramp up a LOT, as will the 670 when that's released.

My personal opinion is that we don't see a high-end, flagship GK110 for AT LEAST 8-9 months. That's enough time for me to pull the trigger on the GTX 690, and sell it by the time GK110 rolls around. thumb.gif

As for the wait for GK110...I would say pull the trigger on the 690 if it's between that or waiting. Nvidia's entire GTX 600 lineup is all going to have GK104 chips in them, and they seem content to really flood the market this time around. People think that the GTX 680 supply is being limited because they can't keep stock, but honestly, I believe that's completely false and they're using that tactic to drive up demand, and you'll see availability of the GTX 680 and 690 ramp up a LOT, as will the 670 when that's released.
My personal opinion is that we don't see a high-end, flagship GK110 for AT LEAST 8-9 months. That's enough time for me to pull the trigger on the GTX 690, and sell it by the time GK110 rolls around. thumb.gif

That is true. If the 690 does have good quantities available, and the GK110 is not going to be out till the end of the year, then I do see one or two along with accompanying waterblocks in my future. tongue.gif

Haha, and about the 590 cooler, you can start building your collection, or mosaic of dual GPU card coolers! biggrin.gif Of course, you'd have to go backwards and acquire one for the GTX 295 as well. thumb.gif
