Ok, so about a week ago i bought a new PC that had the GTX 690 as its graphics card and now Nvidia announced the Geforce Titan...

According to these benchmarks : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-titan/performance.

it's not that much powerful than the 690 but i'm not really sure.

So,should i return my desktop and wait for the Titan to come to stores or is the 690 good?

The 690 is insanely good. But, if you're going to play on very high resolution on several screens, then the titan would be ideal due to the high vram and 384-bit.

GK104 is made for the regular resolutions like 1080p and sometimes1440p that is only with the GTX 670, 680 and 690 though, while the GK110, the Titan, destroys the highest...
Read the thread. Iv posted the answear already.

GTX 690 for 1080p
GTX Titan multimonitor setup.

Yes 690 runs Sli and yes Sli dos have some problems. Though It's only getting better and better.
Also with nivida inspector theres thousends of gaming profiles that betters/ solves Sli issues.
 


Agreed a 780 over a 690 and probably a Titan over a 690 no reason to pick up a 690 when 1. its a underclocked sli version of the 680 2. it doesn't have 4 gigabytes of effective memory it has 2 GB 3. It's a SLi card on one PCB so you run into stuttering issues with more then one card AMD/Nvidia it doesn't matter 2 cards doesn't always =stability.

 


You sure about that cupcake? Call me all the names you want lover, but the fact remains is:

SLi 680 > 690 > Titan
