GTX 690

[The Dank Knight]

So I've upgraded from my 7970 to a GTX 690. (I just really like the look of the card and it was hella cheap)

But due to it being so old I've not seen many benchmarks on it for current games, so does anyone on the forums own or know anyone that owns one who'd be able to let me know what these cards are like for modern gaming?

Thanks

My friend has one and he says he gets around 30 fps in the bf1 beta, combined with an x4 860.

That's pretty interesting.
Maybe the CPU bottlenecks the GPU or it just doesn't scale well.
My 7970 teamed with a 4770K runs it at around 50-60FPS on the highest settings.

IIRC its about a 980, migh be less then that tho

The 690 is in an optimal situation like 70-80% faster than your single 7970. Now, sadly the Kepler architecture does not do too well in the modern games, with good sli scaling you'll still have acceptable performance however.

within 10% of a 980ti with proper SLI support

within 20% if forced sli support works

within 40% if forced sli does not work

just noisy

very noisy

and good luck finding one within warranty 2gb of ram is starting to be an issue
