Considering getting a GTX 690 to replace my GTX 670 Direct CU II 2GB which i currently have had for last 3 months (will sell on ebay or somthing), reason being currently my card doesnt seem to handle ALL games at Ultra settings in some of the more intense instances (e.g. Arkham city or far cry 3 sometimes dip) and im becoming a bit of an overkill for pc's so im guna be building my own PC when i leave home but currently im running at 1080p i5-3570 CPU but i am thinking of upgrading monitor to 1440p (or 120Hz not sure! 😱) do you think it would be worth upgrading to this awesome Dual GPU as currently im not pleased with the FPS im getting and im going to be making the jump from 1080p-1440p (so going to need even MORE GPU horsepower)

i think i can sell my current card for about £300 on ebay or so and the new card will cost around £700-750

(i rather like the idea of a single card in my future machine which will quite possibly be based in a corsair 800D/900D

All thoughts welcome!
