It does kinda make me want one though. Crazy price/not as fast as 2x680SLI but still I am very very tempted.

Edit:

Justification time....Myself and my two work colleagues have just finished paytalk negotiations. We got a very nice % payrise this year. The recent pay rise will be back dated to January 1st. I also have some overtime to come to me in March's pay.

Now using the step up program with EVGA, this additional cost of the 690 is more than covered. I could bash the CC till the 28th May and order on the 3rd.....Man, what to do, what to do?
 
Looks great though, i was right about its performance too..... 800 quid makes sense though, especially if it OCs well and it looks like it does, that fan looks massive..... looks much better than the boring 680

i might get another 7970 Lightning now :cool:

You paid £430 for ur 680.

So you need to add around £400 for a 690 and £20 for shipping back to EVGA.

Whereas, you could pay £10 extra and just get another 680. Easy.

It does seem like I would be wasting money. My card clocks real nice as well, which I have seen others don't. Also, there is no rush to get another 680, so could get one when GK110 is released at cheaper prices.

I will prolly stay with the 680 for now, as my head tells me to 'wise up abit' Maybe I should listen to it.
