**GTX 690 NOW AVAILABLE AT OcUK!!**

NO.

but £900 is taking the mick.

900 for a single card in its self is taking the ****. but a card with as good/better performance as 680 sli setup,quieter and less power consuming then it don't look quite so bad.

for the record I'm not rich and one of these is about 3/4 of a months paycheck after tax lol.

The not worth it is strong with this one. However the plain industrial look is boss, GPU manufacturers need to stop with the tacky CGI, seriously, its 2012.
 
well when i win the lotto on saturday my list will be something like this
1 x gtx 690

skint

no thanx dont they know we are in recession ?
 
duno why people are so outraged, were you expecting it to be only 100 quid more than GTX 680 or something ?

As prices are fluctuating wildly, now isn't the best time to compared but prices for two 680's beat a 690 and from some reviews, two 680s are doing better.

But hey, drivers etc, too many variable, I just wouldn't pay more for something I could get cheaper than works faster.

But like I said, things may change and everyones test bed system don't always have the same results.
 
I remember posting somewhere that this would be atleast £700, and I was laughed at... Look who's laughing now..:D
 
Can see what gibbo is saying, and price does not really bother me as I have no intention of getting one, but I cant help thinking that close to 1k for a GPU is stupid, and thats coming from someone who is happy to spend on tech... I just wont buy one.. You will be looking at 1k for the hydrocopper though - which if it it ships with 8gb mem would be a monster card...
