I thought the 690 was 2 x 2gb, not 1.75gb ?
I want the GK110 .... grr..... or If they can make a dual GPU version with GK110's that don't do the self destruction trick like the 590's do I may be interested and finally get the 2560 x 1600 screen I have been dreaming about for the last year... I don't want to take a huge/any performance hit moving from 1920 x 1200 to the 2560 x 1600. I will even risk dual GPU setup on a single card if they prove to be that good.

bus width is wrong in that picture I think, for the gtx 680 at least? release date also.

got to say I'm more interested in the 570 replacements as hopefully this will push down the price of the 570 which is of more interest to me due to the cuda performance 
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
Putting 2 of these in sli will destroy 2x680s.....In sli for a cheaper price,less heat,less space than say 4x680s in sli,thats why i like dual cards.

"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!

Imagine the price and heat and space taken up on the motherboard of 4x680s in sli.....2x690s is more attractive to me,less heat,less space and cheaper overall.

Why do you need 4 GPU's? I'd be extremely surprised if it worked out cheaper.
Repeating the same thing doesn't make it true. Dual GPU cards proportionately hotter than single GPU cards in crossfire.

So you reckon 4x680s is sli is going to be cheaper than 2x690's in sli?

I edited my post. But no I'd be surprised if it wasn't

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.
Well i think it will be cheaper and give out less heat,so thats a win in my book,ill also be watercooling them and popping them in da Caselabs,each will have its own dedicated RX360 triple rad for uber cooling and max oc
