Thanks Cleee. Exactly my thoughts on that reply.

Oh and to clarify Mal, I never bought too early as I love my 680 and the hassle free gaming it gives me. I don't want to waste a step up program (which you should research before commenting on, making yourself look silly). If I go 3 screens, then the 690 would be a cheaper option than spending another £430.

If it is £800, then no but if it is £700~ then maybe.

np :)

For 3 screens 2gb VRAM isn't enough to do justice to the power. Have you considered 685/7XX?

ps, what's your battlelog ID?

OK i took a look at it, yes it still depends on the price of the 690 though

Yes Cleee and you are spot on with 685 and 7XX...This vram issue I know to be a hold back and I don't want to have to lower settings in games. This is one of the draw backs but on a re-sell value, I can see the 690 holding a better price than the 680....Hindsight is a wonderfull thing.

I don't expect the next gen of cards to come much quicker than November, so my 680 would be adequate till then.

If you click my signature pic, it will take you to my Battlelog bud :)

Dual GPU cards often hold stupidly high prices on the bay; one of the reasons i could think of wanting them; but then again, ebay is full of dirty ***** scamming scum :(

I'd go for the short term benefits of the 680's as it's easier to add one later down the line when the GPU grunt becomes more of an issue
 
Yea i'd only buy from here, because the 7950s are cheaper here than elsewhere and this includes the 7970 too

True dat.

BUT; if i saved £400 by going for 2GB vs 4gb SLI'd cards; i'd go for the 2GB's ;)

unless you went for 3GB cards instead !!!! this would have course be AMD
and far cheaper than those 680 4GB ones..... but this means Greg cant use his step up program....i think

why did you buy the 680 when you're now talking about replacing it, remember the rows we had.... yea' i was right wasn't i :p... you flipping brought too early, rather than waiting till August and thus you've now got the itch to upgrade again, this is because you're getting caught up in all this hype....i knew this would happen..... because after August it'll go quiet again
