[Chiphell] GTX690 (or GK104x2) dual-core graphics card due by the end of April

[minpayne]

Incredibly early: on the 30th of April there will be a "big guy" showing up.

Attributes:

Dual-core, and most powerful graphics card on earth

Price:

Incredibly expensive

Also, NVIDIA posted a picture on Facebook saying "It's coming", which is suspected to be referring to this new graphics card:

I was waiting on a 7990 but if this is under $900 and can run like two 680s in SLI and a waterblock becomes avail I think I will be switching from ATI.

Last NV card I had was a 8800GT so been awhile.

When it comes to the dual core cards, the worst thing you can do is wait. Usually, they either sell out early and aren't restocked or their price stays the same until they go EOL.

must be a monster - in every way...price, power consumption, speed...
let's see how it does 1:1 against dedicated 2x 680...

[iMacmatician]

I wonder if the 690 is 2x 680 or 2x some cut down variant.

By the end of April, and before May 5.
There's no May fools, but what if suddenly its a lower end card?

There would be no reason for that though... After plenty of generations nVidia managed to make a sub-200w card to be her flagship. Given the enery efficienty one gains from putting "two cards on a stick" *and* the fact that the GPUs used would probably be binned one can easily assume that two full GTX 680s can fit on a power envelope of around 300w or even less than that. Honestly this is the one generation that nVidia would have no reason to use cut down chips for her dual card (apart from "greed" of course :p).

I think, it will be one big core (not only gaming card, but +for calculations)...

[Flanman]

haha just had to

[dr.noob]

What about about a dual core cpu + 690?Maybe not a good idea.

Now THAT would be something.

I wouldn't call it a bad idea, more of why would you do that? If you can afford a gtx 690, clearly you can afford to get a cheap i5 setup

Yeah I bet for a GTX 685

[eXa]

That would be GK110 and i do not believe we will se that for months. Middle range cards are much more profitable than high end, and atm they dont have GTX670 or anything out, wich would make much more sence. If it is a higher end card it would be dual gpu...

[Olivon]

Yeah I bet for a GTX 685

Not me, I bet more a dual-gpu solution. GK110 will be seen in october IMHO.

PHK said 999$ for this new card :

You were saying something? Yeah, that's what I thought.

[BababooeyHTJ]

What do you guys think. Will Nvidia finally add the ability to run tri-sli with a GTX680, amd style? Honestly thats the only way that this card would be attractive to me.

Also, how would that performance compare to three single GPUs?
