Your better off, to get two 680's instead of a 690.. because the pricing would be the same but with the 690, your gonna be limited to 2Gb of vram

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea um no....

 

[Rockdpm]

lol, i have seen that video.... eh i like pranks i just don't like dumb pranks that waste my time. They actually have to be funny.... it was funny to me actually at first time... i realized what it was

 

[Ironwilly]

I laughed my ass off. Ty!

 

[Rockdpm]

With half life 3? lol. So recon, add me on BF3!. i am not really a member of a clan any more but i have a group i play with almost every day.

 

[Ironwilly]

The 690 will still have 4GB of VRAM. I can't justify it being worth $999 though. I'm purchasing either two GTX 680s or the GTX 690. I've never been in favor of a dual-GPU card either way though. The only way i would even consider the 690 is if it were in the $750-800 price range. Either way I have to wait (I will not purchase another reference cooled GPU again) so I will entertain the option of a GTX 690 pending benchmarks, pricing and availability... I just don't see it happening though.

 

[Ironwilly]

Please no more jokes about HL3.... it hurts!

 

[Rockdpm]

Whats your name on Battlelog, Recon?

What did you all think about Geforce Experience? I've gotta say, it's one of those ideas that PC gaming has needed for a long time. As an enthusiast that deals with casual and newb PC gamers on a day to day basis as part of my job, it's a brilliant idea and I love it!

Nvidia continues to show their mastery of gaming!

Like mentioned in the live stream, it will help bring PC gaming more in line with consoles "ease of use". Pop in and play. No messing with settings. It's a positive idea, and will probably get better with real world input.

 

[Rockdpm]

lol, well looks like were gonna be out of work since NVIDIA has come up with this new tech.

didn't find you....

not THAT is pure SEXY.
really i never would have thought to say that about something without bewbies before.

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea its a pretty card... but hard to believe i gotta pay such a hefty price tag for it...

 

[absorber]

i think 400 is a little high, considering it uses gk104's that are still (murphy's law) going to be a rarity. you wont see those for under ~$550 here in australia. the 680's here are 730 for a evga superclocked.... unbeleivable..

Yeah, the price-gouging in Australia isn't even logical, our dollar is above par with USD! It's sad 🙁 Huge difference in performance for same money if we were in america...

 

[Firewood B B]

999 dollar = 999 euros in Europa.. That's so sad :/ - Should be somewhere around 750 euros

for those who prefer their own setting or likes to try variety of graphic mod (for games that support it such as crysis) this geforce experience thing might not picked their interest but for people that want everything done automatically for them or for those who have trouble to set the game for best experience this tool should assist them. sounds good but we have to see how the real implementation working out before pass the judgement 😛

nvidia will beta test this tool in june and if the beta are open to the public i will test it myself

 

[bardacuda]

$1000 for 690? That just doesn't make sense.....2 680s would be better. I think it should have been priced closer to $800.

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea i'm agreeing with you bardacuda. Its just dumb to price something at that price when you can just get two 680's for the price of one 690 and SLI 680's would give more vram if you were gonna run multiple monitors
