Post any 690 news here please.

I could have told them that by reading the reviews:P couple of things interest me about the 690, nvidias work on removing the stuttering issues and the noise. One of the only things that I dislike about my 7970 setup is 2x reference cooler noise a full throttle!!

As I recall 680 SLI also has the evening out of frames.

Edit:here it is:

Improved Frame rate Metering

Kepler introduces hardware based frame rate metering, a technology that helps to minimize stuttering. In SLI mode, two GPUs share the workload by operating on successive frames; one GPU works on the current frame while the other GPU works on the next frame. But because the workload of each frame is different, the two GPUs will complete their frames at different times. Sending the frames to the monitor at varying intervals can result in perceived stuttering.

The GeForce GTX 690 features a metering mechanism (similar to a traffic meter for a freeway entrance) to regulate the flow of frames. By monitoring and smoothing out any disparities in how frames are issued to the monitor, frame rates feel smoother and more consistent.

Hmm not sure from that if 680 SLI has it, would have guessed it does.
