Hmm mine doesn't seem to be stable at +100 core, even with fans up. Temps max 79.

Everything I've tried so far runs really well except Crisis 2 which is really really jerky in 3 screen mode dx11 unless you turn the detail right down.

BF3 is good but the smoke makes it go jerky which didn't seem to effect framerate with the same settings on 3x 7970

Jealous much? Stick to varnishing your 7970.

Glad to hear that the OP is enjoying his 690. It's what it's meant to do, after all.

Having the fans at 70-75% really brings the temps down, what are you running at in precision?

Looks great....so jelly.

Interesting how everyone is getting very different results with their 690 overclocks.

I can push my core clock up +140 and keep it under 85 but I can't go past +700 on the memory clock using Afterburner. Fan speed set at 70%

Do I need to raise any settings on my bios to get my memory clock to +800/1000 or is it just a pipe dream.

I'm running at +150 but with only a +200 on memory. I haven't tried overvolting yet as there's really no need but it may help you. Toms hardware were using a voltage offset on their overclocks. Try EVGA precision rather than Afterburner as well, the voltage offset wasn't available in Afterburner when I looked.

Have you tried the adapative vsync in the control panel? One issue I noticed was the blurring in Alan Wake is unplayable on the card, had to run the game with blur off. Had a hunt around and seems this could be an issue with 680s in general so may be driver related.
