[Guru3D News]

You have probably seen it on a couple of other selected websites already our sample arrived a tad late but NVIDIA is sending around the GeForce GTX 690 in a rather original way.A week prior to shipping...

[Phatzy]

A bit over the top for packaging dont ya think

[Ven0m]

That's why they sent the crowbars beforehand!

[Brasky]

that's cool.

[mypc]

Can noT wait for the revIEW...............

[slickric21]

Let me guess.....

Its fast, its expensive, its overhyped - the next best thing since sliced bread...

Followed later down the line of poor driver support/problems/microstuttering and quickly forgotten.

for $1000 they best package it in a crate, surrounded by gold dust and wrapped by the Gods!

[Outrance]

Cant wait to see how this performs,wether i buy or not will depend on the review.

[RoadKillNL]

Let's see how many people they will fool with "oooh 4GB and much much faster than a single 680"

Surely wont fool me

Agreed, might sell my 680 and grab a 690 to better cope with my new res. Hoping they have a bit of OC room.

I still find it funny the ammount of people that think having 2 or more cards in sli or xfire doubles vram.

last i checked that the story of anything sli, or dual gpu in nature, when it works it works great but that isnt always the story most the time

Funny because I've never had any problems when I was running SLI cards in the past.

[erm]

Hey Hilbert, how I hate you ! where you put all nice hardware that you receive for your reviews ? give something to me !

[AbjectBlitz]

Wonder how much the packaging and fancy shroud added to the cost, frankly I don't care what it comes in or what it looks like as long as it performs. Bet the fancy packaging and shroud finish added atleast $100 to the final price.

TBH I think the 7990 will be a more realistic package but time will tell.

No it isnt,

I remember my 9800gx2.... Ouch
Double ouch i remember my mates 590.....

Hope this one is better supported !!

[perosmct]

2gb per card plays everything...2x2 gives the speed to run everything smooth...the only and valuable truth
