received the 120hz monitor today and wow it is amazing. I played a few minutes of BF3 and there definitely is a difference. Need to play/test some more but the 690 seems to handle it no problem.

Do any of you have problems with steam and the 690??

All the problems started after I upgrade from a 660ti. The games voice and images started to lose sync, after that, loading and saving times started to increase until the game finally crashed. These happens in Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Batman series. Also noted that characters just stopped moving, just froze, I can move around like everything is normal but the support characters just stand still doing nothing (Elizabeth in BS and your squad in BF3).
After the game crashed, Steam client crashed too in a very bad way. I have to delete all the steam files, except for the game and info folders to make it work again. This action makes Steam to download all the client files fresh, but the issues are back, eventually.
I cannot play more than 15 minutes without having to do this all over again,
I already sent the card for RAM to EVGA and they send me another one, but still the same problem. I uninstalled drivers, games and Steam plenty of times. Ran stress test to the card and RAM and no problems were found. Ran SMAT test to hard drive and it's in good shape. All the other components were running rock solid for over 6 months.
I am running out of choices and the dead line to return the card runs up the 23th. What to do??

i have had no issues since my upgrade from 680's.. uninstall all your drivers run driver sweeper then reinstall and report back, sometimes strange things happen from changing gpu's even if it is still nvidia

Just my 2cents.gif
As a Titan owner, I would like to point out that all the benchmarks disagree with you on performance in general, but the vram does get to be an issue at higher resolutions.

The catch is you can't run three 690s xD

nvidia drivers, my bad for poor explanation, also check under device manager and make sure its not listing your 660 ti anymore, if it is disable/delete it

Yes, that's right, but I said better as in the scaling of two high powered gpus as opposed to four lower powered gpus. I mean a lot of games have no problem with two cards in sli or crossfire vs four and it should be smoother with two cards also, imo.

I would think with two GTX 690s in quad, the scaling after two gpus(first GTX 690) isn't so great. Maybe 50% for the third and 25% for the fourth(2nd GTX 690 added)? I could be exaggerating.

But with two Titans, you get 100% and then 90% for the second gpu.

And yeah, that vram of 6gb vs 2gb for the gpu muscle.

Running one GTX 690 with 2gb isn't an issue though, atleast for 1200p, when I had it. Faster than my GTX TITAN that's for sure. I just like trying new things, so I sold the 690 and bought the Titan.

i must agree, i got to try the titan as well as 2 690's before i settled on what i have now and for a single monitor setup even at 1440p the 690 is a beast and ill take it over the titan any time, though as soon as you sli the 690's they go down the tubes, you actually lose fps in alot of games because it just cant scale with 4 gpus.. maybe in future games it could be useful and properly coded and optimized both on devs side and nvidias guess we just gotta wait to see right now though for those that have the money, 2 titans no questions asked is the best setup you can run imo

So I finally have the 690 in my possession! biggrin.gif







Only one problem, and it's fairly significant. The holes on the mounting bracket don't seem to align with my case.





This is pretty baffling. The card itself fits fine and is roughly the same size as my 7970. My case and mobo (NZXT Phantom 410 and Z77 Extreme 4, respectively) are probably a bit cheaper than some other GTX 690 builds, but I don't see any good reason why it shouldn't fit properly. Am I SOL here unless I want to do something tacky like duct tape it together?
