Traditionally dual-GPU cards have been a mixed bag. More often than not they have to sacrifice a significant amount of single-GPU performance in order to put two GPUs on a single card, and in the rare occasions where that tradeoff doesn't happen there's s...

When it comes right down to it, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 is simply the fastest graphics card on the market. This fact is undisputable, as in each benchmark the GTX 690 was able to leave the previous generation GTX 590 and HD 6990 cards in its wake. O...

Very expensive
The GTX 680 was the fastest single GPU card when it was launched a few weeks ago. We were quite impressed with what NVIDIA achieved with the card’s power consumption, heat output, and the performance. With the GTX 690, NVIDIA has raised the performan...
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 is the finest looking, best performing, most efficient dual-GPU video card in the world with unsurpassed design and engineering. The GeForce GTX 690 not only performs in terms of framerate, but also performs in terms of thermals...
Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 2x2 GB is the world’s fastest graphics accelerator being as much as 95% faster than the today’s flagship single-GPU Nvidia product – GeForce GTX 680 2 GB. The new Nvidia creation boasts mind-blowing performance, which is so incr...
I really shouldn't curse so. FRACK, what a beast of a graphics card the GeForce GTX 690 really is -- admittedly, the price is rather beastly as well -- without doubt beyond anything we expected and with each year that passes the price seems to rise. US...

After testing the GeForce GTX 680 last month, it was practically a foregone conclusion that a dual-GPU powered graphics card based on the same GK104 GPU was coming down the pipeline. The GK104 at the heart of the GeForce GTX 680 was able to best AMD's cur...

Obscenely expensive. Blocks a second expansion slot
Nvidia calls its newest dual-GPU video card, the GeForce GTX 690, the fastest ever, and we can't disagree. Just know that's also one of the one most expensive....

High price, most expensive reference design card ever released, High power draw, Requires SLI game support to reach proper performance, Dynamic OC can't be turned off, Manual overclocking more complicated than before, No technology similar to AMD's ZeroCo
Holding NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 690 is the first hint that NVIDIA created something special. The new card feels great thanks to the dominant use of metal, both with shiny and rough surfaces. Thanks to the used magnesium alloy it is still much lighter than...
