and consumes even more power then the 290X... wonder what people say now about that.![]()
It depends on how much more and the testing methodology. If we are getting 80 extra watts over a gtx titan for 15 percent more speed(what it would take for it to consume more than a 290x), Nvidia seriously let people down by giving people A1 steppings. A respin and binning should get people 15% more performance without efficiency going out the door.
If its more or less the same as 290x, with 15% more performance and being quieter, I think its acceptable because basically we are getting gtx 690 performance in around the same power envelope. Nvidia stressed that this card is quiet, so I don't expect a big increase in noise over its other cards. One more thing is I wouldn't want the cards to run at 95C. Nvidia has been about balance and finesse this generation with little weakpoints aside from cost.

Core i7 920@ 4.66ghz(H2O)
6gb OCZ platinum
4870x2 + 4890 in Trifire
2*640 WD Blacks
750GB Seagate.
ha ha ha ha, it consumer less then 290x and is cooler
and yes, that performance is correct. in 20 games at 2560x1600, it is from 2 to 45 percents above 290x uber mode. average performance is 13 percents above uber moded radeon
default perf it is not last thing, we have here new feature for overclocking, and better consistent fps.
