[Official] NVIDIA GTX 690 Owners Club - Page 45

Thanks man, and apologies for not adding you earlier, but I will do so now.

There are no waterblocks currently available for the 690 yet. It will probably be a couple of weeks/end of May I would guess.

Also, I did not get around to benching much tonight since I was enjoying how badly this card just ate every game like you're asking it to run Minesweeper. I mean, Battlefield 3 @ 2560x1440p, 4xAA, 16xAF, everything on Ultra...smooth as butter. This card didn't break a sweat...like i texted to my friend...it literally just ATE Battlefield 3.

That said, I did get to run two (2) benchmarks with 3DMark11; both runs are at ABSOLUTE STOCK settings, meaning no clock speed boosts at all. I literally closed any background tasks/apps, ran 3DMark 11 (P) benchmark twice, one with PhysX On, and another with PhysX Off.

Keep in mind that i am using the Basic (Free) Edition of 3DMark11 and also, it doesn't yet seem to recognize the GTX 690 and the 301.34 GeForce drivers as being official when the scores were uploaded at the end of the runs.

PhysX On:



PhysX Off (CPU Physics):



Again, these are my first two runs ever with this card, no tweaks at all, so take them for what they are. I will run more 3DMark11 benches during the course of the week, including Max OC clocks (and i'll run them on my full version key lol, I just never reinstalled 3DMark11 after reformatting not too long ago). More benches to come later, including Heaven runs and whatnot.

That said, t'was a busy night rebuilding my loop/cleaning my rig, and getting to play around with the 690 for a couple of hours, but now i'm off to bed cause...I got a full-time day job like the rest of you.
