It "IS" the GTX690 and 6804GB cards coming!

So.... you're leaning towards AMD with a memory bus and volume that by your own comment, ISN'T giving it a performance lead? What if nV cut the price?

OR... what about nV with 4GB? That'll help a fair few games/ programs.

It's time to find out if all the "only 2GB" whining was on the money

Been in both camps over the years so Not a fan fan boy of either one.

Just going for a (Single) card right now and going to take all factors into account as want
a card that will perform well for a few Gens as my 5770CF's have done.

Should know in a couple weeks how the extra vram and interface works between the cards
and direction I'm going.
Was tempted to go for the 7970 or the 680, But glad I waited.
$550.00 is my (Upper) limit on one or the other, So the 4 gig 680 may be out of reach for me anyway.

Just want to see the (Valitated) facts before I pull the trigger.
Be nice to get back to a single card again anyway!

IMO watercooling = 7970
Air Cooling = 680

both are pretty equal clock for clock but the base clock is alot lower on the stock 7970 vs 680

$479 on egg is nice too but the 680 right now is no where to be found
