Should I buy two GTX 690s?

I have lotsa money.

Yes you should. If you come back here though and have put them in some mid range gaming rig we'll all abuse you.

 

[Stuka87]

Must be running three 30" displays eh?

But in all actuality, I bet you could not even find two GTX690's to buy even if you wanted too.

<---- If you planning to give one to a lucky forum member... then yes! *Cough*:sneaky:


j/k
Let us know your results with dual GTX 690... cause I don't know if anyone in the forum have gotten two yet alone one...

Overkill for 1600p unless you want minimum 100+ fps plus. But with 3 1080p you will just about do well

 

[blastingcap]

The answer is no, you should get THREE gtx 680s and raffle off the third one to a lucky AT Forumer.

It would easily do 5x1080 portrait, if it could.

Framebuffer.

You should really just by ALL the GTX690s and hand off all the extras (just don't forget to send one my way). :wub:

No, it won't.

1. That would be like running 1440p with a 7950 stock. Ok sometimes, not okay other times, but mostly okayish, but not exceptional.

2. 2GB VRAM won't cut it anyway.

If you want to do surround, preferably go for 4 4gb 680s as that would never suffer due to anything, and perhaps oc a bit higher too.

My guess is the OP might be able to buy a used G92 based card if he takes out the trash and mows the lawn all summer.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

I have a custom duck tape secured 9800 GT that will do 815/1840/900, comes with two "special" 80mm case fans for optimal cooling (also requires you plug one into your mobo).

Let me know OP.

Put down some money on a house its a better investment.

 

[Don Karnage]

Only if you're running bulldozer

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Only if you're running bulldozer

This goes without saying

 

[Hatisherrif]

Buy 4 of them and remove the heatsinks, hack the drivers and go octo-SLI. No need to cheap out on your PC.

I could see the 2gig vram being an issue in some games. 2x690's though would have the horsepower to push the pixels though.

And you gotta grow up to work. I'm assuming 2002 is his birth date.
