Thanks for compiling these, Blade!

I'm going to use the links in the Official GTX 690 Owners Club. Which, btw, the 690 sold out at EVGA in about 10 minutes, lol...

This card is practically within 1-2% of GTX 680 SLI. Pretty awesome acoustics and physics too. In OCCT it uses less power than a GTX 580 and in game it uses about 48W more. It's also more quiet than an HD 7970. The price is rediculous though.

Yeah for a Dual GPU card the scaling is very impressive indeed.

Jeez.

This card is indeed awesome. I never thought a dual gpu card could be quiet, well cooled, have low power draw and still manage to perform this well.

And on top of all that this card looks incredible.

Absolute beast of a card, great to see it basically perform the same as GTX 680 SLI. The price is around the same too so its just as viable an option to be honest.

Temps are little warm. Was hoping for something better than 680 SLI considered the water chamber tech, but it is two 680s in one so I shouldn't have expected much.
