Advice, GTX 690 Or not GTX 690

[Monky670]

So i mentioned this in one of my earlier posts conjoined in the cpu section but this will hopefully be more worthwhile here.

Basically i just need to hear some more peoples opinion or weather or not i should dive in for the 690 or not.

Now i arn't paying full retail price (Im not that retarded) but my buddy is wanting to part ex his with my own.

WHATS ON THE LINE
My Palit GTX 670 (Second hand prices are around 150-200)
£250

To me it seems a worthy upgrade to safeproof for afew years, plus i dont have to mess around with SLI Wiring, if i wanted a second card.

So in your own opinion (Yes im allowing your own opinion on the internet) should i Deal or No deal?, thanks for reading

Oh and another thing will a 690 run on my tx650 psu just find if i try and OC It to 1,000Mhz or not?

as i said i'd wait. the 670 still kicks ass, and imo everything from nvidia above gtx x70 is not worth it looking at price/performance.

i know i just want to future proof myself abit more, as im basically upgrading my whole pc this year (again)but this will be the last upgrade for 2 years imo

well, im saying 2 years but this will be the only graphics card i'll be buying probably xD, until i fancy spending another 1,000 on a completely new upgraded pc next year haha, but thanks for the vote of confidence bud

$410 plus your 670? I wouldn't do it. I'd wait

well as i said before mate he's basically buying my GPU At retail price wich is £300,$492.69,

 

[iceclock]

thats pretty sweet deal mang.

Think of it this way, you're getting a GTX 690 for (arguably) the price of a GTX 780 Ti, would you rather have the latter than the former? I know I'd prefer the 780 Ti.

Well i mean as i said if i didn't get on it, it would go to someone else, and i'd obviously miss out, i was going to buy the amd r9 290, but i'm an nvidia fanboy, so im glad my buddy is selling it haha plus i wanna start doing youtube sometime, in the never future xD

that is if he'd be able to sell his 670 for stock price which he most likely wont be able to

nah he's basically buying a second gtx 670, so he's basically buying a 690 at second hand xD,

Is your resolution over 1080p?? If not I would pass.

Could you list the rest of your specs?

690 outperforms 2 670s. a 690 consists of 2 680s on 1 pcb

That's why I added the "arguably"

The difference shouldn't be too much, maybe £30 more?

That link IS a 1080p. I just don't feel it is worth the price and possible problems you might have.

Stay with your 670, your system is well balanced. Save the $$ for a cpu/mobo/gpu upgrade later.
