Nothing wrong with a decent sized epeen
I want to know when the 7990 will be here.
Thanks mate,some people need to pipe down,shame they cant do it without an admin giving them a warning.The guy asked a straight forward question.
If you have nothing constructive to add, then don't post! I'm armed with my Easter bonnet and baby oil, so be warned.
Yeah ive been reading around and many places seem to suggest April for the 7970 and May for 690,i hope its not as bad as the 590 was.Wow. The apocalypse seems to have happened.
OP, I'm thinking a couple of months.
kd
do you see the specs it sais my PSU is ok doesn't it, min spec is 550 W, unless that's for a non OC.
it'll be ok just way too expensive...... we'll see
Thundy has warned many of you here in a polite manner to behave and keep on topic. I however shall get straight to the point and suspend if it carries on.
The OP has asked a question. Please answer it or do not post at all. You want to argue about future releases then jump in the Kepler thread or AMD equivalent and do it there as this is not the place.
To answer the OPs question, a dual GPU nvidia card is coming. What it is called, costs and when it will be released Gibbo won't be able to answer due to NDAs.
If you require any potential info for speculation on the question originally asked then hit google, theres some good estimates out there with pretty solid documentation of new lines appearing at X date. Just remember, if a price is $500 as an example, you must remember that this price is distribution cost. Add to this mark up and VAT and your looking at closer to £475inc.
So if you've seen a price, apply the same percentage difference between currencies as I have above and you will have a fair idea.
nothing new there mate, just more **** about its power draw, the trouble is the power draw will rise if OCd and i intend to OC as high as i can go!
this card is deffo interesting but i'll need a 750 W psu.
The way i see it is, there is no point buying the 690 unless you OC it, after all it's too bloody expensive to leave in STOCK TRIM.
other than this i could get the 685 and not bother with a new PSU, because this card will be very powerful too, not sure yet
roll on 5th may
yea having 2 of these is really silly
dont forget that one of these is the same price as a 50'' LG Plasma, if not more
"Less heat and cheaper"
lol - yeah right
Of course it's going to be better than SLI 680. It's 2 GPU's vs 4!
Why do you need 4 GPU's? It's definitely not cheaper.
I edited my post. But no I'd be surprised of it was.
Heat is an issue on two sandwiched cards. You sandwich two dual GPU cards together you're asking for temp lockouts without extreme fan speed/cooling solutions.
Have you even looked at previous dual GPU releases? They're hotter and more expensive. What make you thinks the 690 will be any different?
Then you should simply know better.
We'll see.
