Confused about GTX 690 overclocking

Microstutter! No, just kidding. I've always been able to prevent it. It hasn't really been an issue for me with the 7970s.

Just wanted to try something different. Never owned a dual GPU card before. I like the idea of Quad SLI in a two card config that's around the same power consumption of Tri-Fire 7970s while at the same time being a bit faster.

A lot less heat and better airflow with the 2x690's over 4x7970's. Especially with the spacing Asrock boards have for dual card setups.

Definitely that too. I can stress the 690s and the fans don't get nearly as loud as the three 7970s in Tri-Fire when stressed.

Makes sense. Let us know your impressions of the two systems.
