Lets face it. FX1 just actually said, out loud, that nobody owns a GTX690.
He needs a filter. Too much dirt getting into the mainframe. Don't know why he comes out with this stuff.

How many people on here have a 690 GTX? I have seen plenty of people with 680 SLI and 670 SLI. i rarely see the 690 GTX in peoples sigs. This is an enthusiast forum where i hardly see the 690 GTX.

We all know your on the nvidia payroll are you just here to defend Nvidia no matter what people say?

The 680 GTX SLI is CHEAPER and FASTER than the 690 GTX so why would people buy it? Its been a bum deal since launch and hasnt even moved in price for a year.

Even the Steam survey shows poor adoption and declining ownership.

Oh and if you are going to go down the road of that i said "No One" as in literally not one sale, then grow up because you know what i meant.

So you think that what i meant is that Nvidia have sold none?

LOL

Clearly they have sold some because Nvidia said that Titan has sold better which means that by default they must have sold some 690 GTX's

Seriously how are in you a focus group for Nvidia? When Nvidia says they are 50% faster than AMD do you take that as gospel also?

You must be a real sucker for marketing if you interpret everything so literally.

Pot, meet kettle. Now you know how the rest of us work dealing with you.

The irony here is just delicious at this point.

It's simple. Don't exaggerate. If you mean NONE, say NONE. If you do NOT mean NONE, do not say NONE. O...M...F...G... :rolleyes:

That's all you got? Old and Lame. Protect FX1 all you can, because he needs it. The crap he spews is just, well, out there most of the time. So I don't blame you one bit.

Because NO ONE DOES. Yes, on this forum people do of course. It's a HARDWARE forum. That's like going to a mercedes forum and seeing people that own an S55 AMG. How many people do you know though that own an S55 AMG? No one. That's like me saying "Wow, everyone owns million dollar homes!" because I look out my house and I see lots of million dollars homes. You're living in a small subset of gamers. Login to a CS server, and ask how many people own a GTX 690.

The sad thing is you say people own GTX 690s without ANY data. So, I'll back myself with data since you won't.
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/
"27.29% are DX10, 52.66% are DX11"

Of DX10 and DX11 owners this chart shows the breakdown by GPU of who owns what.
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/
GTX 690 .20% April 2013
GTX Titan .06% April 2013

So you mean to tell me that of the 80% (rounded up from 79.95%) of gamers that own DX10 and DX11 capable cards, .2% own GTX 690s. So .16%(79.95%*.2%=.16% use google to verify if your math is bad) of gamers own GTX 690s. Please don't sit here with a straight face and with any certainty tell me that's a large percentage of the gaming community.

@SirPauly
My mistake. Then again, it simply shows the market penetration is small enough that it needs to be in a subset of data. I just hate it when people on here talk about the GTX 690 and Titan and 7990 like the average user owns these cards. Yes, tons of people own high end cards on here because it's a hardware forum. 96% of people do not a GTX Titan, GTX 690, 7990, 7970 or GTX 680. The fact that people somehow think this influences a large portion of the market is just beyond me. I always thought PC forums/users were multitudes more educated and informed than console gamers, or that they'd make the effort/find the data to inform themselves since pc gaming just in general to setup takes more intelligence but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the data.

There usually is some excitement and discussion with the abilities of flag ship GPU's from AMD and nVidia, imho!

I think this board needs some English classes so it can learn the definition of what "NO ONE" means. :rolleyes:

Maybe the two of you can get a room and help untwist each other's panties.

I'm sure nvidia appreciates its focus group members being immature brats in a public forum, that's solid marketing. :rolleyes:

Cause there are people who want one card to free up PCIe slots. There are people selling and buying them in the FS/FT section.

If I were to get a 690 over a pair of 680's, it would be due to noise. The 690 is very quiet.
Click to expand...

A Lightning is noticeably quieter than the 690. (likely many aftermarket cards)
Then again, maybe not in SLI without excellent airflow and enough space between.

I guess the 690 is hitting higher temps (80's) but you'd think it'd be silent the way people (non-owners) talk about it. Quiet, yeah. Quietest? no.

Hardly, a 690 is the opposite of enthusiast.

An enthusiast probably already had 680 SLI way before the 690 even came out.

The people who bought 690s are those people who think SLI is complicated or don't own an enthusiast motherboard.
