Hi guys,
I would really like some advice on which card to buy for my new build. I would be play games such as: Skyrim+Mods, Assassins Creed 3, Far Cry 3, DayZ, Hitman Absolution etc.. Could you guys please share any reviews or feedback you have on these 2 cards and of course what would you choose??? Both cards are amazing and both have pros and cons, which is why I really can't decide
I know a lot of you will say 2x 670's, 680's or 7970's are better and cheaper but I don't think 2 cards in SLI or CrossFire would be good for me, as for one I have NO experience with SLI or CrossFire and heat might be a problem.
ASUS GTX 690 915MHz 4GB - http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-geforce-gtx-690-915mhz-4gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-82NX.html?src=15
Pros: More tried and tested than the 7990. Less power consumption. Smaller. Quieter.
Cons: Outperformed in most Benchmarks by the 7990 (Except for PhyX games). Runs hotter and vents into case.
--- OR ---
VTX3D Radeon 7990 HD 900MHz 6GB - http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-vtx3d-amd-radeon-7990-hd-900mhz-6gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-8FJ7.html?q=7990&src=16
Pros: Outperforms the 690 in most Benchmarks (Except for PhyX games). Cooler. £50 Cheaper.
Cons: A lot louder. More power consuming. Very large and bulky.
My system will be:
i5 3570k with some overclocking, or I might go for the i7 3770k not decided on that either yet lol.
ASUS Z77 Sabertooth MoBo
800/850w PSU
Corsair Carbide 300R case with a few extra fans.
So has anyone got any experience with either of these cards??? Really need some advice.
Thanks guys
